Hey ArtStation!
On behalf of everyone at Striking Distance Studios we’re excited to share this behind the scenes look at our first game, The Callisto Protocol.
As an art team, it’s rare to have the chance to work on a new IP, on new consoles, in a new engine, with a new team … and all during a global pandemic. The team rallied together and never lost sight of our mission to set a new bar for art in AAA games. We couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished together.
The team was focused on creating an unforgettable world steeped in atmosphere, tension, and brutality. We focused on what we called “designed realism” – a universe that was rooted in reality, but transported players to a terrifying new place 300 years in the future.
What you see here is countless hours of work from the entire art team – from concept, environment, character, VFX, lighting, and tech art team. It truly was a team effort.
Thank you to the ArtStation community for your continued support. We can’t wait to hear your feedback on this project and working with you in the future.
