The Callisto Protocol’s season pass includes new player death animations
The Callisto Protocol‘s season pass will include extra death animations for the protagonist Jacob and the enemies he faces, it’s been confirmed.
The details of the season pass were recently added to the game’s Steam Page, listing everything it offers.
As well as typical content that would be expected with a season pass, such as new story DLC, new areas and a new mode, it also lists new death animations.
The ‘Contagion Bundle’ included in the season pass adds a new mode as well as “thirteen new Jacob death animations”. Meanwhile, the Riot Bundle adds a “previously undiscovered area” as well as “twelve new enemy death animations”.
While the addition of new player death animations as DLC would be considered unusual in most circumstances, it’s notable in this case given how much of The Callisto Protocol’s pre-release marketing has revolved around the gory ways Jacob can die.
The game’sfirst gameplay trailer in June 2022 was followed by a ‘Schofield Cut’ version of the trailer one week later (named after the game’s creator Glen Schofield), which was shown during Summer Game Fest 2022 and made a point of highlighting that it had extra gory death scenes in it.
Its not yet clear how these DLC death scenes will be integrated into the game.
The full Season Pass content is as follows:
Outer Way Skin Collection: Bear the armor of the Outer Way, an underground insurgency pitted against the UJC, as you fight to survive the horrors of Callisto.

With reduced ammo and health drops, a customized difficulty and permadeath – there are no second chances to escape Black Iron Prison or the horrors lurking beneath the surface of Callisto.
