Callisto Protocol game release details
The Callisto Protocol is being developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by Krafton. Glen A. Schofield, who is known for his work as the creator of the Dead Space series, founded Striking Distance, and is now its CEO. In an interview with IGN, he revealed that Striking Distance was created in 2019 under the umbrella of PUBG Studios, with the storyline of The Callisto Protocol in the background. As a result, it had to be fitted into the PUBG storyline, but more on that later.
The trailer was launched back in December 2020, during The Game Awards, and it was successful in giving the creeps. The audience even compared it to Dead Space, given the spiritual similarity and disfigured aliens. You can watch the trailer right here.
