ScrewyAurum Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 During its investor call this afternoon, EA said the Dead Space franchise will see a new release during the publisher's 2013 fiscal year. "At the foundation is another year of blockbuster brands: Madden NFL, FIFA, Sim City, Medal of Honor, Dead Space, and Need for Speed as well as mobile hits like The Simpsons Tapped Out, and Bejeweled," EA said. It's unclear if this is Dead Space 3 or a different game in the series. In a follow up e-mail, a spokesperson said, "There’s no further information today but watch for several big product announcements from EA at E3 in June." EA's 2013 fiscal year ends March 31, 2013.
