In a 2021 interview with franchise producer and co-writer Chuck Beaver, it was revealed that the original story for Dead Space 3 planned by him and Ben Wanat during development of Dead Space 2 would have been the third chapter of Isaac Clarke's psychological journey.

The game would have followed on directly from Dead Space 3 with humanity facing extinction at the hands of the Brethren Moons.
