The Callisto Protocol: Several Death Animations Are Locked Behind Season Pass
Striking Distance Studios has announced the contents of The Callisto Protocol's Season Pass, revealing that several player death animations are locked behind the additional purchase.
As reported by VGC, the game's Steam page was updated to include the Season Pass's contents, revealing that 13 kill animations (that have been a prominent feature in the game's marketing) won't be included in the normal, $59.99 version of the game.

The Contagion Bundle includes the 13 new death animations alongside what sounds to be the game's most difficult mode. This Contagion mode has "reduced ammo and health drops, a customized difficulty, permadeath, and another skin collection
