The last entry in the Dead Space franchise was 2013's Dead Space 3. The developer for the franchise, Visceral Games, was shut down in 2017. The studio was working on a single-player Star Wars game when they were closed.

Electronic Arts with the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order seems to have come around to putting a big budget on single-player games again.
