It is good to see that Striking Distance Studios continues to support The Callisto Protocol. Since cinematic scenes are a big part of The Callisto Protocol, it will be a big help to speedrunner players if they can skip them. Some players have requested this since the release. Additionally, the 5.01 update allows players to skip cutscenes. This is probably because instant dismemberment will make dealing with enemies much easier and faster. Either way, players cannot unlock achievements or trophies while using the mode. It’s not yet clear whether Dismemberment Mode will be available separately from the main game, in the main menu, or if it will be something that can be turned on in the settings. Of course, this was already possible, but the developers promise that performing the mutilations will now be much easier and more spectacular. Apparently, Dismemberment Mode allows players to instantly dismember the limbs of Biophages with melee or ranged weapons. It’s no surprise then that The Callisto Protocol doubles down on this with a new mode. Dynamic dismemberment was an essential element of Dead Space’s uniqueness and iconicity. This is a new game mode that will be included as part of the 5.01 update. With a short trailer posted on Twitter, the creators have revealed Dismemberment Mode. A DLC continuing the story of The Callisto Protocol is also planned for the future. The Callisto Protocol was released in December 2022 to a mediocre reception, just over a month before EA’s highly acclaimed Dead Space remake, which received stellar reviews and stole the survival horror conversation.ĭespite the less-than-favourable reception, Striking Distance continues to support Dead Space’s spiritual successor post-launch, recently adding Contagion Mode DLC. The lead developer is former Dead Space co-creator, Glen Schofield.

The title is the first game from Striking Distance Studios. Dead Space-inspired survival horror game The Callisto Protocol is getting a new mode for carnage lovers as part of the game’s latest update, 5.01.
