The Callisto Protocol, the sci-fi survival horror game from the creators of Dead Space stars Josh Duhamel and Karen Fukuhara.
The new sci-fi survival horror game The Callisto Protocol will be released on December 2, 2022, by Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON. Based on a team of industry veterans led by legendary game director Glen Schofield, The Callisto Protocol is a new take on survival horror that blends violent gameplay with an emotionally compelling narrative set in a scary sci-fi universe.
The Callisto Protocol, set in the year 2320 on Jupiter’s dead moon Callisto, asks players to escape the high security Black Iron Prison and learn the dark secrets of the United Jupiter Company. To escape the mysterious epidemic that has left Callisto in shambles, players will have to scour their surroundings and adjust their tactics, employing a unique combination of shooting and close-quarters fighting.
Josh Duhamel, a cargo ship pilot, portrays Jacob Lee in the game, while The Boys actor Karen Fukuhara plays a fascinating fellow convict. Later this year, we’ll learn more about the game’s characters and plot.
According to Striking Distance Studios CEO Glen Schofield, “There’s nothing more fulfilling as a game director than sending gamers on a harrowing experience that lingers with them long after putting the controller down. My enthusiasm for survival horror games spans decades, and I’m looking forward to using the newest platforms to further push the genre when The Callisto Protocol is released later this year.”
The Callisto Protocol is being built by Striking Distance Studios utilizing “Horror Engineering.” Atmospheric tension, human compassion, and despair create memorable shocks in the studio’s Callisto and Black Iron Prison survival horror games.
“We are excited to share The Callisto Protocol with the public later this year thanks to the expertise of Striking Distance Studios,” stated C.H. Kim, CEO of KRAFTON, in a statement. “Our flagship development team in the Western hemisphere is Striking Distance Studios, a KRAFTON company that empowers teams to create exceptional experiences at the convergence of art, design, and technology.”
Day One, Standard, and Digital Deluxe editions of the Callisto Protocol are now available for pre-order. Steelbook case, comic book, and ultra-premium collectible statue are included in the Collector’s Edition, which is only available in the US and Canada via Gamestop and EB Games. The Callisto Protocol’s worldwide marketing and distribution will be handled by Skybound Entertainment, a joint venture between Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON.
