Hey everyone at "NGU"
I found some information as pertaining to the next game in the "Dead Space" franchise. It's too early to know much about the next game, but we all know it's coming in the near future.
Read on below for whole story,
Publisher wants to get back in the action game.

As Electronic Arts tries to solidify its presence in the first-person genre with new Battlefield and Medal of Honor titles, the publisher is also looking to boost its action game library considerably.
Speaking to IGN in an interview last week, EA Games President Frank Gibeau said that while he's pleased with the success Dead Space 2 has seen commercially in early 2011, he still believes there's more room for growth with the series. Gibeau applauded Capcom's efforts of taking Resident Evil to the mass-market and hopes Dead Space can follow suit.
"The Resident Evil series was awesome, the early versions were phenomenal. [Capcom] did a good job of growing the franchise to a very large market," Gibeau said. "I think we still have some areas to grow with Dead Space in terms of trying to reach a broader audience without losing the quality and that survival-horror mechanic. That's how we're going to think about it as we think about Dead Space 3 and what we do next with the IP."
EA hopes lightning strikes twice this year as it prepares to launch its second action title in June, Shadows of the Damned. Famed Grasshopper Manufacture producer Suda 51 teamed up with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami for the project, which takes grindhouse-style spin on the genre.
"Overall, we want to try and grow the business in the action category," Gibeau later explained. "EA doesn't really have a very strong stake there; survival-horror kind of lives in that genre. 3rd-person action is something that we think we can build and our Visceral Games team is really working hard at crafting some new IPs as well as building out ones that have succeeded."
Gibeau said the publisher is thinking long-term for the survival-horror brand. "Horror movies are great films; it's a genre that's been around for decades. We think the same holds true for interactive," he added.

In my own opinion I don't see why they don't continue the franchise and keep innovating too make every game better, I just hope they keep things original and gameplay and just change up a few things too make the game overall fresh every time you play through it.
I think were heading toward a "Role Playing Game" survival horror type for the next game, where your able too make decisions like your able to in other major EA titles such as (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) It's far fetch but it may happen.
This is only my opinion as I stated, feel free too leave your comments below and what you would like to see in the next "Dead Space" game.
Thanks for reading :p

Yeah my take it that it has something to do with the ending of "Severed" the DLC that came out a few weeks ago.
If you haven't already downloaded it, you should.
Thanks also for replying to the thread by the way.
