Horror games The Callisto Protocol and Dead Space Remake have a fairly close release period but are hard to overshadow each other.
While The Callisto Protocol emphasizes more traditional action mechanics, it’s easy to mistake it for Dead Space, so it’s good that it and Dead Space Remake have some areas of mutual support.
A bunch of horror games are coming, and fans of the genre certainly couldn’t be happier than right now. From indie titles like Fort Solis and Routine to big AAA games like Resident Evil 4 Remake, there’s a lot to enjoy in this genre right now. Leading the way are two horror games from the same gameplay style, The Callisto Protocol and Dead Space Remake. With one game being developed by Glen Schofield with former Visceral Games employees, and the other being a remake of their previous work, it’s not hard to see how the two games are closely related. how tight.
It’s even quite coincidental that their release dates are quite close together. Currently, The Callisto Protocol will release on December 2, 2022, while Dead Space Remake is currently set for January 27, 2023. That’s a long period of nearly two months, which can be considered roughly best way because these games look very similar.

The Callisto Protocol can reintroduce Dead Space to players
The Callisto Protocol will offer a similar but ultimately different experience to Dead Space. This will also help fans prepare for what will be reintroduced in Dead Space Remake when it comes out.
The first is The Callisto Protocol, a sequel that inherits the spirit of Dead Space in every sense. It’s good that it can come out first so that this new IP has a chance to prove itself, as well as prove how far Dead Space has come. Glen Schofield and his team are well aware of the series’ legacy and what works and doesn’t work in the Dead Space trilogy. To that end, The Callisto Protocol will offer a similar but ultimately different experience to Dead Space. This will also help fans prepare for what will be reintroduced in Dead Space Remake when it comes out.
The Callisto Protocol is definitely updating its horror and gore to be more relevant for modern times, but it has also taken a step back to re-examine its mechanics. Dead Space is inspired by Resident Evil 4, but it places a double emphasis on both limb damage and survival horror. The Callisto Protocol aims to recapture the melee elements that many fans loved in RE4, which could make it a point of comparison when both Dead Space Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake launch. With the ability to push enemies into the same environmental dangers that affect Jacob, with a more melee combat system, The Callisto Protocol aims to push the legacy of Dead Space forward.

Once fans have completed their time in The Callisto Protocol’s Black Iron prison, gamers can embark on exploring the dark corridors of USG Ishimura with Isaac Clarke. Made by Star Wars Squadrons developer Motive Studio on the Frostbite toolkit, Dead Space Remake will deliver an experience similar to the original game, while also featuring updated features to take advantage of existing hardware. grand.

That’s not the only overhauled part that will be shown. This time Isaac himself will be voiced as well, with the aim of keeping him quiet but will speak in times where the silence would be strange. Familiar Necromorphs will also be updated with more realistic gore and an overhauled part cutting system. While the plot and structure are still intended to be the same, Dead Space Remake is being rebuilt from the ground up with a modern soundscape, advanced visuals, and many accessibility features. This will be the highest possible take on the horror classic, which will contrast well with the innovation of The Callisto Protocol.
