The director ofThe Callisto Protocol, Glen Schofield, has said the team is not “holding anything back” from the game, in an attempt to clear up any confusion fans may have had about the season pass. Touted asone of the most anticipated horror games of the year, fans are excited to see what many are considering to be a spiritual follow-up toDead Space, which Schofield also directed. But even before the game is out, there’s already been discussion about some additional content in the future.The game’s store pages show there will be aSeason Pass forThe Callisto Protocol,which will be available for those who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition. This extra content will feature story DLC, and new game modes and skins. One thing that has caught people’s attention is the addition of 25 new death animations via the Season Pass. However, some fans have expressed concern that developer Striking Distance Studios is withholding some of this content from the main game to release it for the Season Pass, which has prompted the director to try and clear some things up.RELATED:The Callisto Protocol Gets an Official Launch TrailerIn a recent post on Twitter, Schofield has said that nothing is being held back from the main game. In a response to one comment, he felt the need to clarify some information after seeing headlines about the Season Pass and added that the team had put “every freakin thing that was done in the shipping game.” Schofield also says the studio has not even started work onThe Callisto ProtocolDLC content yet. It looks as though Striking Distance will begin this additional work in the new year, with priority going towards the extra deaths that fans have been asking for.
There have also been other concerns in the run-up to the game’s release. It’s been noted thatThe Callisto Protocolwill come bundled with Denuvo, the anti-piracy and anti-tamper DRM software that’s proved itself less than popular among gamers. Fans have reported issues with overall game performance on titles that have Denuvo, such asResident Evil VillageandDeathloop, and some games likeWolfenstein: YoungbloodandStar Wars: Jedi Fallen Orderhave had the unfashionable DRM tech removed after the fact.
That aside, many are looking forward toThe Callisto Protocol, which will be releasing very soon. In fact,December is going to be an interesting month for gamesin general, with such titles asNeed for Speed Unbound,Hello Neighbor 2, andCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunionall due to launch over the coming weeks.
The Callisto Protocolis set to release on Jun 09, 2025, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
