Glen Schofield, Creator of Dead Space, Anticipates Revealing Details on His Upcoming and Thrilling Venture
Former Striking Distance CEO, Glen Schofield, has tantalizingly teased his upcoming project, promising to reveal exciting details soon Stay tuned for the latest on this highly anticipated venture from the renowned Dead Space creator
Dead Space The Callisto Protocol creator Glen Schofield is hard at work on something new, as after enjoying some rest, the game developer posted an update on X/Twitter regarding his next project and plans to share details on it in the new year.
Schofield's most recent endeavor was The Callisto Protocol, a return to sci-fi horror that received poor critical reception upon release. Developed at Striking Distance--where Schofield served as co-founder and CEO of the studio--the game did receive several substantial updates after release, but parent company Krafton still proceeded to lay off more than 30 staff members back in August. Schofield also left the studio, but in a statement, he confirmed that his exit had been planned for a while so that the new CEO, Steve Papoutsis, would have as smooth a transition as possible.
"It has been an amazing journey creating Striking Distance Studios and I am incredibly proud of the success of The Callisto Protocol, a game that is close to my heart. While embarking on a new adventure is thrilling, leaving SDS is bittersweet, but I am confident that the studio is in great hands," Schofield said at the time.
Schofield is not the only prominent game developer who has parted ways with a studio he helped found, as Hideki Kamiya left Platinum Games earlier this year. Due to contractual obligations, Kamiya is taking a one-year break from game development, but the experienced designer is confident that he has a "clear idea" in mind for his next project when he eventually returns to the industry. If he can secure support and funding, his next game will be something that only he can create.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Glen Schofield's work, I am eagerly anticipating the reveal of his upcoming project. Schofield is a master of creating immersive and terrifying horror experiences, and I have no doubt that his new game will be another instant classic. I am particularly excited to see how he builds upon the foundations he laid with Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol. Both of those games were incredibly well-received by fans and critics alike, and I can't wait to see what Schofield has in store for us next.
I am also glad to hear that Schofield is taking his time with this new project. It is clear that he is passionate about creating something truly special, and I am confident that the extra development time will pay off. I am more than willing to wait a little longer for a game that is truly worth the wait. I believe that Schofield's new game has the potential to be one of the best horror games of all time, and I can't wait to experience it for myself.
