The Callisto protocol drew a lot of heads at The Game Awards, but the debut trailer for the new Dead-Space-esque horror game was missing something – gore. Sure, we got a nice glimpse of a slime-drooling alien monster, but no murders. Well, a new extended red band version of The Callisto Protocol trailer has been released, and it delivers all the tentacles and death you could wish for. See for yourself, provided you have a strong stomach.
Before the new expanded trailer was revealed, The Callisto Protocol masterminds Glen Schofield and Steve Papoutsis held a quick Q&A. Most of the topics covered were things we’ve heard about, but they also addressed the important issue of co-op. Many would argue that Schofield’s Dead Space series got lost when it began to focus on co-op play, so it’s with some relief to report that The Callisto Protocol will be strictly single-player. Here’s what Schofield had to say on the matter …
This is a story we wanted to tell and the best way to tell it was through a single player game. Sometimes when you get into cooperative you go in different directions and you don’t follow the story very well and not only that, we wish you were alone. That’s what makes this really scary.

You know, [I] have a certain style, and i can’t escape my style. My style has grown and maybe matured a little bit, but it’s my style. I’m sure there will be some familiar vibes at play.
The Callisto protocol will arrive sometime in 2022. Platforms are not specified.
