The Callisto Protocol was one of the biggest frustrations of the last era with its magnificent visuality and atmosphere. The game that comes with the motto “New generation horror game” is in the case it was understood, despite the preliminary orders made with high expectations. Because we look at the development costs described in the game, we see the difference between the sales figure is quite large.
Callisto Protocol sales back of cost
According to the explanation The Callisto Protocol development cost was found in total 162 million dollars and is expected to sell more than 5 million in the first process of the game. Despite this, the game has not yet reached even half of this figure, but it is noted that it can reach 2 million sales figures. So there is a big loss on sales and company’s profit purpose side tarafında.
According to incoming reports, the developer of Krafton game, which is the distributor of the game in 2020, 5.4 billion won in 2021, 77 billion won in 2021, and in 2022, it is noted that the game paid about 196 billion won in total, up to 113.6 billion won. When you hit the do, we see that this figure is around 162 million dollars as we mentioned at first.
So even for the recovery of the cost of the game, it is necessary to reach 2.5 million sales numbers and do it on the 60-70 dollars band. We can say that even if we take a discount on the game, it is impossible to recover at least this year, and it is often a game that hurts. It’s also a fact that it’s very difficult to meet the cost needed for the continuation of the game.
