The Callisto Protocol is a space horror game whose creator is glenn schofield, the same one that gave life to Dead Space. After a season without news of this new project, the medium Game Informer has shared new images as a preview of all the news that will be announced soon.
The Callisto Procol: “a totally different beast”
Issue 346 of the Game Informer magazine will feature new images from The Callisto Protocol on its cover, which is being developed by Striking Distance Studios and has the creator of the beloved Dead Space at the helm. So dear that Electronic Arts is developing a remake that looks very promising.
Returning to The Callisto Protocol, will follow the third person space horror theme from DeadSpace. According to reports, it is set in a space prison located on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto, and whose name is Black Iron. We will have to deal with an alien invasion in the skin of a prisoner, whose mission is to survive in a place designed not to escape. Encouraging, right?
This is the first game of Striking Distance Studios. Said study was founded by Schofield after leaving Activision, where he worked on Call of Duty Advance Warfare and WWII.
As for the obvious resemblance to Dead Space, Game Informer has made it clear that it is “a totally different beast” after seeing gameplay exclusively. We will have to wait for the official gameplay to see if the words in the middle are correct. Until then we are left with the new images.
It will arrive exclusively for the new generation of consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) and PC in 2022, provided that the forecasts do not change. It is very possible that the Game Informer issue will confirm many reports and announce new information. On paper, The Callisto Protocol looks great, but… Will it be up to the task?
