Live-Action TV Spot for ‘The Callisto Protocol’ Starring Josh Duhamel Released [Watch]

Published

We’re only a week away from The Callisto Protocol being out in the wild. And to seemingly culminate the marketing campaign, Striking Distance Studios has released a live-action TV spot for The Callisto Protocol. Not only that, but there are two versions of the TV spot.

The 45 second spot sees Josh Duhamel doing his non-CG version of protagonist Jacob Lee, crash-landing on Callisto, flashing between several scenes of Jacob making his way through the death and destruction in Black Iron Prison. The spot ends on a cliché note, hoping to entice those still holding out on picking the game up.

However, in fitting fashion, there’s another version of the TV spot for The Callisto Protocol that is of the Red Band variety (courtesy of IGN), showing more of the red stuff, gory goodness, and more unpleasant imagery. This one adds a minute to the original ad, so bully for us!

Meanwhile, for those who were a little irked over the Season Pass announcement seemingly holding back death animations, the game’s director, Glen Schofield, took to Twitter to clarify. Schofield explained that the developers were not “holding anything back from the main game for the season pass”. In fact, the work for the extra content (including the death animations) hasn’t even started yet. “Fans have asked for EVEN MORE deaths, so we’re making it a priority next year,” explains Schofield.

The Callisto Protocol arrives December 2nd for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
