#THE CALLISTO PROTOCOL SERIES#
It officially launches on Decemfor PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.Īhead of the game’s December release, players can now pre-order both the Day One and Digital Deluxe Editions of The Callisto Protocol. The Callisto Protocol is developed by AAA studio Striking Distance Studios and published by the team behind PUBG Krafton. The Callisto Protocol breaches our atmosphere this December Now, if that doesn’t make you want to get your creepy on and play The Callisto Protocol, I don’t know what will. However, as the game progresses, your objective evolves from simply escaping the horrors to learning the dark truth for how and why they began. The gripping narrative focuses on inmate Jacob Lee’s struggle to escape Black Iron Prison on Callisto, a dead moon orbiting Jupiter, after other prisoners begin turning into horrifying mutants.

Well, this title certainly places an emphasis on this, and the trailers promise a chilling tale of suspense and mystery. If you’re anything like me, then you love when video games incorporate deep narrative storytelling. Speaking of story, the narrative campaign is the largest focus of The Callisto Protocol, and also one of the main reasons to be excited. Umm, Jacob, you might want to open your eyes! However, the focal point here is that gameplay will constantly change, meaning players can expect an immersive experience that always keeps you thinking. While in other instances, you may need to be stealthy and use silent takedowns. In some cases, environmental hazards paired with a gravity gun can become your best friend. During combat scenarios, players will need to constantly evolve their techniques depending on the situation. In fact, another gameplay trailer from Gamescom 2022 showed off the adaptive nature of combat in even more graphic detail. Players will need to master both melee and ranged attacks in an environment where adaptation is crucial to handle anything thrown at you. Where Dead Space heavily relied on engineering tools repurposed as firearms, Callisto relies more on conventional weapons and melee combat. One area where The Callisto Protocol hopes to separate itself from Dead Space is combat. Intense combat situations always keep you on your toes. The visceral combat system makes you think Glen Schofield, The Callisto Protocol’s Director 2. I can’t see people going, ‘Oh, that’s Dead Space 4‘. The combat is different enemies are different. But when you’re done, it’s a different story, different characters, different universe-different way we tell the story. Think you’re gonna get in there, and you’re gonna play the game, maybe, and think Dead Space.

He states that while he understands the similarities, he also feels confidently that players will walk away with a totally different feeling.

In an interview with IGN, Schofield addressed the comparisons some players made between the two IPs. However, for those worried this new game won’t break any new ground from Schofield’s previous titles, the game director states otherwise. Needless to say, giving him the reigns to direct another sci-fi horror game means The Callisto Protocol is in good hands. For those who don’t know, Glen Schofield is the mastermind who designed the Dead Space series.
