The game being mentioned in the main story is Callisto Protocol – one of the blockbusters that has received countless expectations. Initially, this game was expected to be PUBG 2, or connect with PUBG to create a universe of its own. But no one expected that, instead of achieving the expected successes, Callisto Protocol only brought extreme disappointment. Even the project failed to the point that the producer Krafton had to make a rather unexpected and unexpected decision.
Callisto Protocol – the project failed despite the high expectations of Krafton
Accordingly, 32 employees of Striking Distance Studios – which directly produced Callisto Protocol were officially fired by Krafton. That being said, that’s also a pretty significant number, when it should be remembered, the total number of employees of the studio is only 144 people. According to the share, the reason why Krafton made this decision is because they want to rearrange Striking Distance Studios in order to change and achieve success in the future. Although not saying it, everyone understands Krafton’s intentions, failed projects like Callisto Protocol will certainly never be allowed to appear again.

In fact, at the beginning of its launch, Callisto Protocol made a good impression on many people, although it did not really make any breakthroughs. And then, performance issues arose, even becoming so severe that currently, the game’s rating is still mixed on Steam. More remarkable is the sales of the project. Initially, Krafton expected to bring in at least $161 million of their investment and expected to sell 5 million copies. Then, the level of expectations dropped to 2 million copies, but even now, it is still a difficult milestone for Callisto Protocol. This also means a real failure for the project, and completely eliminates the possibility of a second part of this game.
Even the release of extended versions can’t help Callisto Protocol improve a bit
Even the release of The Callisto Protocol: Final Transmission DLC expansion in June did not bring good signals. This version has just over 500 reviews on Steam, too few for a game invested in hundreds of millions of dollars.
