The Callisto Protocol Team “Was Forced to Ship the Game” by Krafton

Glen Schofield, the creator of Dead Space , who announced his retirement from the games industry in July, has spoken about the situations that led to the release and poor reception of his last title – The Callisto Protocol . Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz , Schofield said that Krafton essentially forced Striking Distance Studios to ship the game following COVID-19-induced lockdowns. He also noted that the title shipped in a more pared-down state than what was initially planned, thanks in large part to members of the development team falling sick due to the global pandemic.
