If Striking Distance Studiosā The Callisto Protocol didnāt scare you with its Game Awards trailer, its new Red Band Cinematic Trailer should do the trick. The Glen Schofield-run game developer debuted its gore-filled trailer today, proving that its PUBG universe sci-fi horror game could really be the Dead Space spiritual successor youāve always wanted. The footage is pretty intense, so hereās your warning before you start the video.
We still havenāt seen much about how The Callisto Protocol ties into the PUBG universe, except that the game occurs in the year 2320 in the distant future of the PUBG universe. No in-game footage has been revealed yet, but we do know that it will be a story-driven, single-player survival horror game. Expect it to arrive on PC and consoles in 2022.
Striking Distance Studios revealed itself to the public as a PUBG games studio in 2019. Since then, Schofield, who also was a cofounder of Sledgehammer Games and creator of EAās Dead Space series, has mostly kept the studioās progress under wraps. It wasnāt until last week when The Callisto Protocol was revealed that we got to see the nightmare taking place in PUBGās new spinoff.
The Escapist had the opportunity to speak with Schofield in April of this year. Though we did not know what the studioās first game would be called at the time, he said that Striking Distance was working on an action game that is the first step into a Marvel-esque universe for PUBG.
