The Callisto Protocol, the new Dead-Space-esque horror game from Glen Schofield’s Krafton-backed studio Striking Distance, is one of the biggest question marks on the near horizon. While the game is officially slated for 2022, we’ve seen almost nothing of it, so could it be slipping to 2023 like so many other big titles?
Well, according to Krafton’s latest Investor Relations briefing, it seems that isn’t the case. Not only does Krafton insist the game is still coming in the latter half of 2022, but they’re making some big boasts about its “AAAA” quality. You can check out the key slide from Krafton’s presentation below, which also includes some information on Project M, the new turn-based strategy game from Unknown Worlds.
In other The Callisto Protocol news, it seems it’s the next Game Informer cover title. The cover reveal includes our first look at the game’s protagonist, Jacob Lee, who differs from the characters we’ve seen in early The Callisto Protocol teasers. That’s Jacob up in the banner image – you can head over to Game Informer to see another couple shots. As for further coverage, GI claims they’ve “witnessed” first gameplay footage of The Callisto Protocol. Hopefully, we get to witness it too.
- Quad A (AAAA), all day!
- Highest level of quality + maximum horror experience + distinguished action mechanics.
- Targeting the second half of 2022 for launch.
Pending a delay, The Callisto Protocol is coming our way in the latter half of 2022. Platforms have yet to be confirmed, although Glen Schofield has said it’s a next-gen exclusive.
