The latest sci-fi horror game “The Callisto Protocol” (The Callisto Protocol), jointly created by Striking Distance Studios and the former producer of the “Zero Dimensions” series, is expected to be officially released on December 2, and just like EA Like the his “Mortal Dimension”, this work will bring the players a variety of bloody scenes such as the classic science fiction horror film “Tearing the Horizon”, which means that the prisoner Jacob Lee played by the player is trying to escape from the “Callisto” Black Iron Space Prison” is in danger of dying tragically as a result of chasing various alien creatures or activating traps in the process of escaping. However, according to the latest news released by the game team, a season pass (Season Pass) including a large number of “Calisto Protocol” follow-up DLC content will include many new “methods of death”.
According to a report from the VGC website, the “Calisto Protocol” Steam product page was recently officially updated to reveal the detailed information about the contents of the season pass, and it revealed that any player who has purchased the season pass can watch it in-game 13 brand new death animations for the main character. While it’s really new to consider the death of the protagonist as DLC, it also means that players who buy the $59.99 full version of the game can’t actually get the truly “complete” content, but have to spend an extra $20 for the season pass. , or purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition for $79.99.
“The Callisto Protocol” season pass mainly includes four main contents, the most important of which is the story chapter of the DLC expansion to be released in the future, and the remaining contents are the combination of models “Outer Way”, “Contagion ” and “Riot” pack. The 13 new death animations that sparked discussion appear to be included in the Contagion combo pack, but in addition to the new death methods, this combo pack also includes the ability to “reduce the number of bullets and blood packs dropped, customize the difficulty and ultra-high-difficulty mode “Life or Die”.As for the remaining “Riot” package, the RogueLike survival mode of “Calisto Protocol” is included, so that players constantly have to collect various points in the process of trying to escape from the Black Iron Prison, so you can upgrade or craft new weapons.And survive waves of enemy attacks, plus this pack includes 12 player versus enemy execution animations.
So far, the development team has shown in various gameplay videos the various tragic ways that the protagonist Jacob Lee can encounter in the game, whether he is bitten to death by a group of hungry alien creatures, or killed by a huge computer. Fan cut in half, etc., this game has a gory image that shocks the players, and even caused this game to be banned completely because these contents could not pass the rating review in Japan. Interestingly, the Callisto Protocol achievements/trophies list also includes a challenge that requires players to activate all death animations, but that challenge doesn’t appear to include the 13 ways to die included in the season pass.
To be clear: We’re not withholding anything from the main game for the Season Pass. We haven’t started working on this content yet. It’s all new stuff that we’ll be working on in the new year. Fans have been asking for EVEN MORE deaths, so we’re going to make that a priority next year.

Soon after the news broke, Glen A. Schofield, CEO of the Striking Distance studio, confirmed on Twitter that the team deliberately didn’t keep any “content that should have been in the game itself” in the season pass, which means that players can already see a variety of death patterns in the game itself, and the 13 types added by the season pass are just new add-ons added later. The producer also directly stated that the team has actually started making these death animations and promised to release them next year.
