The world gaming industry always has very fierce competition. The proof is that Krafton can be extremely successful with the blockbuster PUBG, but fails miserably soon after with a blockbuster project with “huge” investment like The Callisto Protocol. Launched at the end of 2022, The Callisto Protocol has faced countless heavy criticisms for its previous advertising exaggeration. This project was even quickly forgotten shortly after Dead Space Remake was released shortly afterwards.
Ignoring external factors, The Callisto Protocol does not have too many things for gamers to regret. The content is short, lacks depth, and in particular, the applications and things that can be explored in The Callisto Protocol are relatively limited. With an average rating of 7/10 and a revenue of about 2 million USD, it is not enough for the level of investment that Krafton spends on this blockbuster. There was even information that Krafton planned to abandon The Callisto Protocol and certainly not produce a sequel.
It was thought that the future of The Callisto Protocol would come to a dead end. But no one expected that in the past year, Krafton has invested a lot of money to revive this super product. Not counting skin packs and microtransactions to help improve revenue, Krafton brings countless new modes to The Callisto Protocol to meet the needs of different types of players. In addition, new DLCs and updates have almost completely changed this project. Even the two modes Hardcore and New Game Plus have contributed to significantly improving the number of players returning to The Callisto Protocol.
Of course, comparing The Callisto Protocol with masterpieces of the same genre like Dead Space Remake is still relatively lame. But certainly, Krafton is still trying to bring this bomb back to becoming a force like what PUBG did before.
