An update to The Callisto Protocol‘s Steam page detailed what players can expect from the upcoming season pass.

The Season Pass includes:

Outer Way Skin Collection: Bear the armor of the Outer Way, an underground insurgency pitted against the UJC, as you fight to survive the horrors of Callisto.

Contagion Bundle: Discover the ultimate survival horror experience with a new mode, Contagion. With reduced ammo and health drops, a customized difficulty and permadeath – there are no second chances to escape Black Iron Prison or the horrors lurking beneath the surface of Callisto. The Contagion Bundle also includes thirteen new Jacob death animations and the Watchtower Skin Collection.

Riot Bundle: Venture into a previously undiscovered area of Black Iron Prison and battle through waves of brutal enemies. Gather credits to upgrade your weapons, or forge new ones, and survive the onslaught as long as you can in Riot, an all-new mode. The Riot Bundle also includes twelve new enemy death animations and the Engineer Skin Collection.

Story DLC: Dig deeper into the horrifying secrets of The Callisto Protocol.

What stood out for a lot of people is the mention of 13 new death animations for Jacob. Players speculated this is cut content, a fair assumption given the concerns in adding new content to places players won’t see or experience.

Following a number of comments on the potential issue, Glen A. Schofield, CEO and founder of Striking Distance Studios, tweeted a response.

To be clear: We’re not holding anything back from the main game for the season pass. We haven’t even started work on this content yet. It's all new stuff that we’ll be working on in the new year. Fans have asked for EVEN MORE deaths, so we’re making it a priority next year.

It’s good to have confirmation this is both not cut content and in response to fans wanting more unique deaths.

The Callisto Protocol is set to release Dec. 2 for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series, and PC.
