THE CALLISTO PROTOCOL
Developer Striking Distance Studios Publisher Krafton Format PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series Release December 2
You sense Glen Schofield is as tired of the words ‘Dead’ and ‘Space’ as he is of being reminded of his first ever game credit. Striking Distance Studios’ director is clearly torn between his role as a creative and his duties as a man who would like his game to reach the largest possible audience. So, yes, The Callisto Protocol looks quite a lot like Dead Space, as you would reasonably expect from a science-fiction survival horror built by many of the same team. Schofield insists there is more to it than that (again, as you would expect) while in the same breath emphasising that players who enjoyed Visceral Games’ debut will surely find a lot to like in his new studio’s first release.
