The activity in the gaming industry continues at full speed. With the developing technology day by day, productions that seem to have come out of the movie sets began to appear. We can give the example of The Callisto Protocol, which was presented to gamers on December 1, 2022. Promising a high-level gaming experience with its graphics, gameplay and story, the game could not meet the expectations in sales figures, according to the latest information. Here are the details!
The Callisto Protocol sold 3 million below expectations
The Callisto Protocol, developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by KRAFTON, failed to meet its sales target. According to MK-Odyssey, $162 million was spent on the development of the game. In addition, since it is AAA, that is, a high production production, naturally high sales targets were set: 5 million.
Despite its high budget, the game failed to live up to expectations – at least on the developer and publisher side – and fell 3 million short of its targeted 5 million sales target. As it is known, at this point, despite its strong brand value, it is noted that Resident Evil Village sold 6 million copies in its first six months. In other words, the target sector set for The Callisto Protocol seems somewhat unrealistic.
The Callisto Protocol received a wide range of ratings, including 9/10 from PCGamesN, 7/10 from IGN, and 5/10 from Gamespot. At the same time, when we look at the Steam reviews, it is possible to say that it is mixed in general.
