Electronic Arts has denied that it has canceled Dead Space 4 as a response to the sales of Dead Space 3. Rumors ran rampant yesterday that pre-production for the game was shut down not soon after the launch of Dead Space 3.

“These rumours are patently false,” said an EA spokesperson. “While we have not released sales data for Dead Space 3, we are proud of the game and it continues to be an important IP to EA. Appreciate your help bringing down this baseless rumour.”
