During their slot at Gamescom 2022, Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON featured a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming space horror title The Callisto Protocol. Being developed by many of the same team members that brought us Dead Space, we already had high hopes for this game but with this gameplay reveal, the hype has escalated!
This next-generation take on survival-horror fuses brutal combat with a deeply human story in a terrifying sci-fi world. Set on Jupiter’’s dead moon Callisto in the year 2320, players are challenged with escaping the maximum security Black Iron Prison and uncover the terrifying secrets of the United Jupiter Company. Players will need to search their surroundings and adapt their tactics, using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat to survive a mysterious outbreak that has thrown Callisto into chaos.
Striking Distance Studios stated that they are using a unique design process the team calls “Horror Engineering.” By blending elements of brutality, atmosphere, tension, humanity, and hopelessness, the studio delivers unforgettable scares that keep players’ hearts racing as they survive to escape the horrors of Callisto and Black Iron Prison.
The Callisto Protocol is set to release on December 2nd for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. They also opened pre-orders in Day One, Standard, and Digital Deluxe editions. There’s also a Collector’s Edition, available exclusively in the US and Canada at Gamestop and EB Games, which includes a limited run Steelbook case, comic book, and ultra-premium collectible statue.
