Striking Distance Studios could do so much to expand the established lore and world that it has built. Mahler, after all, still has that data taken from Jacob’s implant, and Dani might be infected, which would have real ramifications for The Callisto Protocol’s world. There is still much to uncover in terms of Dr. The Callisto Protocol left mysteries and plot holes to explore.

The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission’s ending could also set up a sequel with a different protagonist. This ending could be read as either setting up the events of Dead Space 4or just another shared hallucination. These hallucinations cast doubt on the final conversation between the protagonists and the moons.

Players of Dead Space 3 Awakened experienced a similar twist as they discover that Isaac and Carver suffer from severe hallucinations throughout the game.

The ending not only casts doubt about the players’ experience but also about the future of The Callisto Protocol franchise. In the last moments of the DLC, players see Jacob severely wounded and on life support while Dr. The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission’s ending reveals that the DLC's narrative happens entirely in the mind of the dying Jacob. RELATED: If EA Motive Ever Remakes Dead Space 3, It Should Scrap This One Thing That Fans Hated The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission and Dead Space 3 Awakened’s Endings The Dead Space 3 Awakened DLC extends this ending to a more complicated cliffhanger. Dead Space 3 similarly ends with Isaac and Carver saving Ellie and sacrificing themselves. Players of the base game last see Jacob getting attacked by Ferris. The Callisto Protocol’s Jacob sends the Outer Way leader Dani off in an escape pod, saving her from the self-destructing Black Iron Prison. The credits roll as players are left to assume that these characters have sacrificed themselves. In both base games, the protagonists conclude their stories against seemingly impossible odds. The Callisto Protocol ended similarly to EA’s Dead Space 3.

The DLC’s last-minute twist finds the protagonist Jacob in a tragic narrative predicament. The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission promised to be the final chapter following the base game’s cliffhanger ending. The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission DLC and Dead Space 3 Awakened share a disappointing narrative twist.
