‘The Callisto Protocol’ Devs Explore Horror in New Docuseries [Watch]
We’re all hungry for Striking Distance Studios’ The Callisto Protocol. The studio knows it, and are keeping the anticipation building with the release of part one of their docuseries on The Callisto Protocol entitled “Mastering Horror”.
The first of a three-part series, Episode 1 sees director Glen Schofield, along with members of the development team and personalities from the horror genre (such as The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman) go behind the scenes of The Callisto Protocol and discuss their shared love of horror.
Entitled “Brutality”, this first episode shows plenty of it in The Callisto Protocol. If you’ve been keeping up with the various previews (including our own by Thomas), you know that the game is going to be a bloody affair.
In fact, it’s so bloody, that according to the game’s Japanese Twitter account, the game’s release in Japan has been cancelled due to being refused classification by the country’s CERO rating system. In order for the game to have received a rating, Striking Distance would have had to censor the violence and gore. Apparently, the developers weren’t able to compromise, and as such, The Callisto Protocol won’t see a release in Japan.
One could see this as a gimmick that harkens back to EA’s infamous Dead Space 2 marketing campaign where they were showing moms footage of the gory goodness. Of course, it only helped Dead Space 2‘s popularity. Will a similar tactic work for its spiritual successor in The Callisto Protocol?
The Callisto Protocol arrives December 2nd for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.
Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.
As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.
Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.
- The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
- Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
- The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
- A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
- The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
- The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.
Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
