It’s undoubtedly one of the most important releases of 2022 as it’s signed by some of the creative geniuses behind dead space. This wonder from Visceral Games (when it was called EA Redwood) that arrived in 2008 and has in this The Callisto Protocol a kind of spiritual continuation. The problem is that we discovered something hidden inside the famous season pass that we didn’t like at all. You know that?
Is dying paid content?
There is no need to explain what a season ticket is at this point because we all already know that, nor that the companies they have taken to cutting up their games to sell them by chapters
Well, someone on the development team of The Callisto Protocol had a while ¡eureka! and he thought that since the game takes us to an inhospitable place in deep space, where crazy creatures live and death awaits us almost anywhere, why not trade with the reaper and trick us into being able to buy a additional pack of different annihilations of Jacob (that’s the name of the protagonist) or enemies?
In this way, The Callisto Protocol happens to become one of the first, if not the pioneer, to trade in death in a game, giving users an extra (paid) incentive while they travel to the other neighborhood, such as getting the trophy for seeing every possible variant the minds at Striking Distance Studios have dreamed up.
What exactly can you buy?
This season pass will consist of several deliveries. The first will be a pack of skins for the game, which we can use as armor or suit of Jacob himself. The second is called Infection and it’s an even more survival experience hardcore with reduced ammo and health as well as a custom difficulty that hides new character death animations. Specifically 13, which we can taste every time the enemies hunt us down and we die.
But there the thing does not stop. The riot pack It’s another that also includes, in addition to a new unexplored area in the game, additional deaths as a claim to buy it, but this time the 12 new ways to die will not be of Jacob but of the enemies themselves, which will give more variety to our fight against the forces of evil. In total, as you may have added, there are 25 new animations focused on displaying the final moments of the digital creatures that inhabit the interior of The Callisto Protocol.
the last of packs of the season pass, by the way, it will be a DLC of the story mode of which they have not revealed, for obvious reasons, any details, in the meantime The Callisto Protocol arrives in stores on December 2 and give us time to digest any possible plot spoilers.
