One of 2022’s most anticipated games, The Callisto Protocol, the sci-fi horror debut from Striking Distance Studios, led by Dead Space co-creator Glen Schofield, is set for launch on December 2 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game’s website describes the new horror experience as follows; “Set on Jupiter’s moon Callisto in the year 2320, The Callisto Protocol is a next-generation take on survival horror. The game challenges players to escape the maximum security Black Iron Prison and uncover its terrifying secrets.”
