The Callisto Protocol is set to launch on 2nd December, with the upcoming survival horror game shaping up to be an excellent outing, if our time going hands-on with the title is anything to go by (it is). But director Glen Schofield is already looking towards the future and what comes next.
In an interview with Inverse, Schofield admits, "I want to make a sequel. This is a complete game, but there are a lot of ideas, cool ideas, we want to do next. I always want to keep making the next big thing. Even after I finish a game, I’m already thinking what’s next."
Schofield commented on the almost Armageddon/Deep Impact-like situation that we, as gamers, currently find ourselves embroiled in. The Dead Space remake is slated for release the month after Callisto Protocol, on 27th January. Schofield is credited as one of the creators of the original Dead Space, which launched in 2008, complicating matters further.
Schofield had the following to say about the Dead Space remake, stating, "I wish them the absolute best, but I don’t really know anything about it. I don’t really want to know anything about it. They have extremely talented people over there, but… Honestly, if it were me, I wouldn’t remake it. I am glad for them, but I wouldn’t. I want to move on and make something new. Dead Space is in my past.”
The Callisto Protocol has gone gold, with its launch date locked in, and has been confirmed to run at 60fps in performance mode.

I am honestly starting to feel so overwhelmed by how many games are coming out in the very near future that I want to play! Where to start….
steady on let us play through the game first.
Feels like he just went full spoiler meaning it ends on a cliffhanger, or just more to the story bit annoying,.rather would have seen that for myself
@Uromastryx Eh we still have no clue other than the possible fact that the alien infection lives on. Also if he's "thinking about it" then that would also mean it doesn't end on a cliff hanger
nice to see him wanting to do new things, not the easy remakes route
Very bold to already think about a sequel to the game. Hopefully the game sells really well.
Gotta let us play the game first Schofield no need to get too excited now lol let’s see what happens
Judging from the trailers and gameplay I've seen, I'd be up to play a sequel.
