Callisto Protocol Gameplay Compared To Dead Space, "Absolutely Rocked"
According to Game Informer's Editor-in-Chief, Andrew Reiner, gameplay for The Callisto Protocol warrants comparisons to the intensity of Dead Space. Developer Striking Distance Studios unveiled The Callisto Protocol during the 2020 Game Awards, teasing an all-new horror adventure ripe with Dead Space influences. Such inspiration didn't happen by mistake, given that Striking Distance CEO Glen Schofield is none other than one of the minds behind EA's beloved sci-fi horror franchise.
Since the survival horror title's unveiling nearly two years ago, Striking Distance has shared fresh details piecemeal. However, the little that is known to the public counts as nothing short of fascinating. The Callisto Protocol takes place in 2320 on a maximum security prison housed on one of Jupiter's many moons - Callisto. Akin to Dead Space, the tension builds because of a lurking alien menace, which seems as though it will prove quite formidable based on the original reveal trailer. The wait to learn even more about the eagerly-anticipated horror experience will soon come to an end.
