The Callisto Protocol cannot completely convince
In our test, colleague Michael Grünwald certifies that the game is a real dead space killer, at least on the Playstation. However, they led technical problems of the PC version to a significant devaluation. However, the ratings differed extremely widely around the world. In addition to some top marks, downright devastating judgments were also made. This unsettles gamers who find out about the quality of the gaming experience before buying the full-price title.
Due to the many bad ratings, the publisher Krafton’s stock plummeted. Several patches have already been released, for example the worst technical problems fixed on PC and made for a more dynamic combat system obviously couldn’t turn things around.
The Callisto Protocol: Analysts predict flop
analysts of the company Samsung Securities come to the conclusion that a month after the release of the game The Callisto Protocol (buy now €150.88 ) will not even achieve half of the targeted sales figures. Publisher Krafton According to analysts, it won’t reach 5 million copies sold. Apparently it will be difficult to break the 2 million units mark in the current year. Not quite as gloomy, but still sobering is the verdict of Korea Investments & Securities the end. Here it was assumed that 4 million games would be sold in 2023. The number has since been revised down to 2.1 million units.
In assessing the future course of the share value of publisher Krafton the supposedly poor sales figures are having an effect The Callisto Protocol extremely negative. The game was simply too expensive to produce, has a much too short playing time and received extremely mixed reviews from the critics. So everything looks like The Callisto Protocol as a big flop for the Korean publisher of PUBG: Battlegrounds. The release of the remake of the great role model Dead Space on Friday January 27, 20203 should also not have a positive effect on the sales of the survival horror shooter.
