Developers See Callisto Protocol as Live-service Game; Promise 4 Years of Support
The developers of The Callisto Protocol admit that they will invest in creating DLCs. In addition, the game is to be supported for as many as four years after its release.
- In an interview with True Trophies, the creator of The Callisto Protocol announced that the game will be supported for four years after release.
- Striking Distance Studios plans to release DLCs as part of long-term support for its work.
The release of survival horror The Callisto Protocol is three months away. The developers, in addition to publishing more materials from the game are eager to reveal new information about it. Recently, the director of technology at Striking Distance Studios, Mark James, in an interview with True Trophies at the gamescom trade show, announced that The Callisto Protocol will be a live-service game supported for four years.
When asked about DLCs for the game, James said that the studio intends to invest in creating expansions. The game's world is expected to tell different stories, and some of them may be presented just within the DLCs. The Callisto Protocol will, however, receive not only story DLCs, but also ones that will introduce "different gameplay modes".
Thus, the game will not be abandoned to its fate immediately after release. This is potentially good news for players who will want to stay with The Callisto Protocol for longer.
"(...) Every developer, when he creates a new brand, likes to think of it as a long-supported service. Creating a new IP is really expensive, so we always want to try to get as much out of it as possible," said Mark James.
You can already see evidence of plans for long-term support for The Callisto Protocol, if only in the form of the Deluxe edition of the game, available in preorder, which includes, among other things, a season pass. The Callisto Protocol is scheduled to come out on December 2 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
