The Callisto Protocol: First Extended Gameplay Revealed
The first extended gameplay from The Callisto Protocol – the new game from Dead Space creator Glen Schofield – has been revealed at Summer Game Fest.
The two-minute long gameplay footage clip shows something very similar to Dead Space; we've got a gross third-person shooter in a sci-fi universe, with plenty of heavy architecture and slimy gore. Opening on a segment in a medical bay, we see holograms of previous patients gone mad beating up medical staff. Those holograms soon make way for real monsters, which we see picked up and slammed into walls using an anti-gravity weapon called the Grip. In a second segment we the Grip being used to throw monsters into fans, as well as our hero being pulled into a piece of machinery himself. Just like in Dead Space, the deaths are... grisy. Very grisly.
The Callisto Protocol is due for release on December 2, bringing third-person survival horror to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The Callisto Protocol was originally was originally supposed to be set in the same universe as PUBG, but it was recently announced that was no longer the case
Schofield clearly had unfinished business with Dead Space, and his new game is self-consciously building on that series' sci-fi-horror ideas.
