The Callisto Protocol's Enemies Will Terrify You, Even If They're Alone
Dead Space creator Glen Schofield revealed new information on The Callisto Protocol, a sci-fi horror game set in the PUBG universe. Schofield provided more details on the game's combat, its connection to PUBG Battlegrounds, and even the Dead Space influences that have crept into its design, to create an unsettling and gruesome combination of outer space terror.
