The Callisto Protocol Gets a Restricted Rating Compared To Dead Space Due To “High Impact” Violence

The Callisto Protocol appears to have a higher degree of violence, blood, and gore than Dead Space based on a rating from the Australian Classification Board.

They have recently rated the game and given it a Restrict 18+ rating suggesting that it might be a lot gorier than Dead Space. For reference, Dead Space received a Mature 15+ rating from the same board. They cited “strong horror violence” as the reason for the rating while for The Callisto Protocol, they have listed “high impact bloody violence” as the reason.

 

Here’s what they had to share regarding the violence and gore in the game.

Based on this description, it doesn’t seem like the game itself will offer a lot of violent scenes, although the gameplay footage so far shows a lot of brutal dismemberments in addition to the main character getting killed in gory ways.

The Callisto Protocol will be published by Krafton Inc and developed by Striking Distance Studios. It is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series.
