If you don’t know, The Callisto Protocol is shaping up to be one of the most interesting horror games in a long time. Here’s the latest look.
Digging in the dirt
There are a few undeniable (though general) similarities between The Callisto Protocol and the famed Dead Space series. Much like the latter, The Callisto Protocol is an undeniable horror experience, and also takes place in a sci-fi setting. It sports a similar look to Dead Space too, and there’s a reason for all of that since the original creators of Dead Space are involved.
But it’s not all samey, as The Callisto Protocol has some sharp differences. For one thing, it’s set in a creeptacular prison called Black Iron, that’s housed on Jupiter’s moon of Callisto. It’s there that players will have to unravel a mystery buried deep beneath its reinforced foundation.
It also stars actor Josh Duhamel, plus what might be some of the most hideous monsters in gaming.
From the original creators of Dead Space and starring Josh Duhamel as cargo space ship pilot Jacob Lee, The Callisto Protocol is a story-driven survival horror game that will release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X this December 2nd.
