Krafton, known for publishingPUBG, insisted the game release three months earlier than Schofield wanted.
Schofield discussed a positive relationship with Krafton at first, but it seems that gradually deteriorated.
“I wanted about three and a half more months,” said Schofield.
“I was led to believe that that was the way it was going to be.
In October or September ‘21, I was told ‘You’re going to get the time.
Put whatever you want into the game.’
So I spent that Christmas holiday just designing and coming up with ideas with some of the guys.
It’s December 2022.'”
On top of that, 49 people resigned from the team in 2021.
“We were devastated,” said Schofield.
“‘21 was the worst year of development of my life.”
As Schofield created the Dead Space series, the two games were in direct competition.
The Callisto Protocol reportedlyfailed to hit sales targets, which caused Krafton’s share prices to fall.
