Live-Action TV Spot for ‘The Callisto Protocol’ Starring Josh Duhamel Released [Watch]
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.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
