As with Schofield’s famous space horror series, Callisto Protocol has gnarly monsters in what’s revealed to be some kind of space prison. Dead Space fans, eat your heart out. During the show, Schofield announced it’s a single-player, third-person survival horror adventure with the aim of being one of the scariest games ever.
