    Latest Trailer for The Callisto Protocol is as Bloody as You Would Expect

    The new trailer also features a quick glimpse of Karen Fukuhara from The Boys.

    A new trailer for The Callisto Protocol went up late this week. As you have probably already come to expect from trailers and footage of this game, it's a very bloody and very gory trailer. What separates this trailer apart from some of the previous footage we've seen is the fact that this one seems to have a bigger focus on the story you will get to experience when The Callisto Protocol is released in December....

    According to a new report by 9to5Google, Google passed on a Stadia-exclusive follow-up to Death Stranding.

    This is a slight departure from 2019's Death Stranding. That game is very much an asynchronous multiplayer...
