The Callisto Protocol
The Callisto Protocol is an upcoming third-person survival horror game scheduled for release on December 2, 2022. The game is being developed by Striking Distance Studios, founded by Glen Schofield, who had previously co-created the Dead Space series.

The Callisto Protocol is set in 2320 at a prison colony called Black Iron, operated by the United Jupiter Company, and located on Jupiter's moon Callisto. The player takes the role of a prisoner Jacob Lee (Josh Duhamel) held at Black Iron, finding themselves in the midst of an alien invasion that appears to have been engineered by the prison's warden

The origins of The Callisto Protocol began with the formation of Striking Distance as a studio within PUBG Corporation (now PUBG Studios) in June 2019, helmed by Glen Schofield, who had previously co-created the Dead Space series at Visceral Games. The studio was created to expand the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe by creating a narrative driven game. Schofield said that when he met with PUBG Corporation where they explained their goal to expand the PUBG narrative, he already had the concept for The Callisto Protocol in mind and presented that to them and worked with them to fit his idea into their universe. However by May 2022, Schofield stated that the game grown to be its own story and no longer connected to PUBG, though there remain small nods to the latter

From the website;

Survive to Escape the horrors of Callisto.

In this narrative-driven, third-person survival horror game set 300 years in the future, the player will take on the role of Jacob Lee – a victim of fate thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter's moon, Callisto. When inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, the prison is thrown into chaos. To survive, Jacob must battle his way to safety to escape Black Iron Prison, while uncovering the dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath the surface of Callisto. Using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat, Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter's Dead Moon.

Very Dead Space, but thats a very good thing

Anybody else looking forward to this? Seems to be so many good games on the horizon, going to be an expensive few months. Excited for this though, looks great.




Yeah, looks very good from what we've seen.

You're right about expense, but I've collected so many games now that I've yet to start playing, it's like an illness … I'll still buy this though

The game is getting slated on Steam for being a stuttery mess. Hugely disappointing, but at this stage it's sadly par for the course.

The Dead Space games were awesome, I even thought 3 was a blast. Playing this earlier and it's off to a good start. Unskippable cut scenes however is a major blow to my wanting to get on with it.

IGN review was pretty positive. Great atmosphere and visuals. Just doesnt bring anything new.

I did intend to buy this but it doesn't seem to live up to the hype.

The combat is bad, it's just off. Massive disappointment for me and yet I still kinda like it.

I'm not convinced yet. I'll need to play it some more but it feels very repetitive so far but that might just be because of the combat system.
