The Review & Retrospective.
What is The Callisto Protocol?
The Callisto Protocol is a survival horror video game developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by Krafton. It was released on December 2, 2022 and is directed by Glen Schofield, who had previously co-created the Dead Space series. The game’s story follows Jacob Lee (Josh Duhamel) who is sent to a prison facility set on the planet Callisto fighting against infected prisoners with a unknown disease while uncovering dark secrets of the facility. Gameplay has players exploring a series of levels, solving puzzles, and garnering resources while fighting off infected prisoners.

Development of the game began with the formation of Striking Distance Studios back in June 2019. Originally developed as a game set in the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe along with the company, it later evolved into the studio’s own intellectual property with it’s own original story and lore. The team uses Unreal Engine 4 to make use of the new technology for the next-generation consoles to immerse the experience.

The game was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on December 2, 2022. The game received mixed reviews from critics, with some calling it a worthy spiritual successor to the Dead Space series and praised its atmosphere, visuals, voice acting and sound design, though criticism was directed toward its combat, difficulty, short length, linearity and lack of replay value. The PC version was also criticized for its technical issues at launch.
