Glen Schofield, the creator of Striking Distance Studios, presented a fresh update to the upcoming sci-fi horror game The Callisto Protocol during Gamescom Opening Night Live.
The Good Look at the Gore at ONL!
During Opening Night Live, Schofield debuted a brand new gameplay trailer highlighting Callisto Protocol’s battle system. We got a good look at its excessive gore, which included the protagonist violently slashing an opponent in the head. The protagonist puts an opponent into a creepy meat grinder-like apparatus. And the protagonist gets cut up by a big fan at the end of a long sewer-like water slide.
Understanding of Mutations
We also gained an understanding of the “mutations” gameplay mechanism. Some foes may have tentacles protruding from them. If you don’t dispatch the opponents with tentacles soon, they will evolve into much more powerful versions with new skills. One has to make quick moves.
Gamescom 2022 will use The Callisto Protocol
The Callisto Protocol is a science fiction survival horror video game scheduled to be released on December 2, 2022. It was developed by the same person responsible for the Dead Space video game. Although the game’s scenario in space will inevitably be compared to Dead Space. Schofield has pledged that his new studio will produce the “scariest game” ever.
Who will be seen in the game as characters?
The protagonist, Jacob Lee, can be seen in the game, which has not been edited in any way, battling his way through a cramped, horrific space spaceship filled with revolting monstrosities while using a variety of weaponry. The game lives up to its reputation as the “spiritual successor” to Dead Space by promising plenty of gore, horrific situations, and gruesome dismemberments for players to experience during the game.
The extended trailer revealed a lot
Fans of Dead Space ought to be familiar with Lee’s weaponry. The primary weapon, for example, causes severe injuries to the monsters, referred to as Biophage. In the same manner that Isaac’s Plasma Cutter causes injuries to Necromorphs in the previous game. The promotional video also gives the impression that the game would feature a telekinetic skills. That will let players manipulate their surroundings to lethal effect.
What is the Release Date?
The Callisto Protocol, developed by Striking Distance Studios, is scheduled to be released on December 2. Almost two months before EA’s Dead Space reboot, which is expected to be released on January 27, 2023 (space horror enthusiasts, rejoice!). The year is 2320, and the grim and perilous Black Iron Prison is located on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter on which people have never set foot. The game focuses on terrifying monsters and a plot that is unfolding there.
Will the Callisto Protocol be called Dead Space 4?
In addition, with The Callisto Protocol, Schofield promises a greater emphasis on close-quarters fighting and increased “replayability.” The changes will outweigh the similarities in the space setting. The Callisto Protocol will not be referred to as “Dead Space 4,” according to Schofield.
