The Callisto Protocol launches 2nd December 2022 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC but we already have the launch trailer. As you might expect it shows a little of the story and lots of grubby mutated things being punch, shot, and generally gouged to death.
The setting of The Callisto Protocol is as follows:
Set on Jupiter’s “dead moon” Callisto in 2320, The Callisto Protocol is the story of Jacob Lee, an inmate at Black Iron Prison who must fight for his life when a mysterious outbreak throws the moon into chaos. Prison guards and inmates are mutating into monstrous creatures called Biophage, and Jacob must battle to survive the horrors of Black Iron and uncover the dark secrets of the United Jupiter Company.
The Callisto Protocol Interview – 17 ways it’s not Dead Space (but kind of is a bit)
The game was originally set to be an expansion of the PUBG universe, both are published by Krafton. Eyebrows were raised when that was announced, a horror game set on a space station has nothing to do with PUBG. Shortly after U turn that wouldn’t be out of place in the Tory government was posted which confirmed game will have no link with PUBG after all.
We went hands on with the game for a preview and came away very impressed. “The Callisto Protocol is absolutely a game that horror fans and Dead Space fans in particular should have on their wishlists for December,” noted Stefan. “Yes, it’s following in some familiar feeling footsteps, leaning into certain horror game tropes along the way, but from what we’ve played, it’s coming together really well and deserves its place within the resurgent survival horror genre.”
It won’t be long before we can all get our hands on the game and enjoy some light dismemberment over a mince pie. It’s what Santa would want.
