The Callisto Protocol's season pass includes new player death animations | VGC - Video Games Chronicle

The Callisto Protocol‘s season pass will include extra death animations for the protagonist Jacob and the enemies he faces, it’s been confirmed.

As well as typical content that would be expected with a season pass, such as new story DLC, new areas and a new mode, it also lists new death animations.

The ‘Contagion Bundle’ included in the season pass adds a new mode as well as “thirteen new Jacob death animations”.

While the addition of new player death animations as DLC would be considered unusual in most circumstances, it’s notable in this case given how much of The Callisto Protocol’s pre-release marketing has revolved around the gory ways Jacob can die.

The game’s first gameplay trailer in June 2022 was followed by a ‘Schofield Cut’ version of the trailer one week later (named after the game’s creator Glen Schofield), which was shown during Summer Game Fest 2022 and made a point of highlighting that it had extra gory death scenes in it.
