The name of Glen Schofield has been linked for years to some of the most influential horror titles in video games, from the legendary Dead Space to the recent The Callisto Protocol. However, the veteran director has shared a bittersweet message: his career at the helm of a creative team may have come to an end.

In a personal post on LinkedIn, Schofield revealed that over the past eight months, he had been working alongside his daughter Nicole — also a developer, with eight years of experience — on a brand-new original idea within the horror genre. The project aimed to create an unprecedented approach, to the point of defining it as a new subgenre.

Schofield cancels his new game due to lack of funding

The proposal had a functional prototype and a team split between the United States and the United Kingdom. The original budget, of around $17 million, was progressively reduced due to publisher demands: first to $10 million, and then to a range of just $2 to $5 million. Faced with this scenario, the team decided not to continue.

“Some ideas are better left untouched than made cheaply”, Schofield explained.

The entire team was disbanded, and they are currently looking for new jobs, including his daughter Nicole, who was also part of Striking Distance until her dismissal in the staff cuts.

A not-so-definitive goodbye, but a resounding one

In his message, Schofield reflects with some nostalgia:

“I miss everything: the team, the chaos, the joy of creating something for the fans. But maybe I’ve directed my last game”.

Although he doesn’t entirely close the door, he acknowledges that AAA development is currently out of his reach, and he plans to focus on art, writing, and other forms of personal creativity.

His last major project, The Callisto Protocol, released in December 2022, was a turning point. Despite its ambition and cinematic approach, it failed to meet Krafton’s commercial expectations, and its critical reception was mixed. Shortly after, in September 2023, Schofield left Striking Distance Studios.

This new setback leaves a question in the air: will we see a new game directed by Glen Schofield again? In a market where mid-sized and independent studios are struggling to survive, that doubt weighs heavier than ever.
