A new team at EA’s Motive Studio will work with the Battlefield studios to create the next phase of the shooter franchise.
The team will be led by Dead Space remake directors Philippe Ducharme and Roman Campos-Oriola.
The news was shared in a new blog post from Motive general manager Patrick Klaus, who added development continues on the studio’s Iron Dude project as it hits a “major internal milestone”.
The new Motive team will be an addition to those at Criterion, DICE and Ripple Effect to “continue unlocking the full potential of Battlefield”. That will be across both multiplayer and single-player experiences.
Ducharme and Campos-Oriola’s “proven expertise in storytelling, immersive battles and developing on the Frostbite engine uniquely positions them to help advance the vision for Battlefield”.
As in exchange for Iron Bro, Klaus shared: “The team made great progress this year, hitting a major internal milestone and laying a robust foundation for the journey ahead. Iron Mate is an important priority for Motive, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve accomplished so far.”
EA confirmed an Iron Pal single-player game was in development back in 2022. Little has been heard since, beyond Motive convening a “community council” for fans to give feedback during the development process.
Alongside Ducharme and Campos-Oriola moving, though, it suggests there are nay plans in support of a Dead Space 2 remake after the success of the first.
The future of Battlefield is uncertain, following the initial rocky launch of Battlefield 2042 in 2021. More recently, Need in favor of Speed studio Criterion joined Battlefield development in September last year, while in February this year EA closed Ridgeline Games which had been working on a narrative-led Battlefield campaign.
Former lead of the Ridgeline project Marcus Lehto said he doesn’t have “anything positive to say about EA” after leaving the company on his own accord ahead of its closure.

Wow, that’s some exciting news! I loved Dead Space and I unable to wait to see what the directors bring to the Battlefield development team. It’s cool to see different talents coming alongside to work on a game like this. Hopefully, it’ll bring some fresh ideas and gameplay elements to the series. Can’t wait to hear how it all turns out!
