When Does The Callisto Protocol Come Out?

The Callisto Protocol will be released on December 2. Pre-orders are now available in the PlayStation store for all three editions of the game.

The Digital Deluxe Edition contains everything in the Day One Edition as well as the Season Pass and 48-hour Early Access to the story DLC.

What is The Plot of The Callisto Protocol?

The game takes place in a prison colony called Black Iron which is located on Callisto, Jupiter’s moon. Players play as Jacob Lee, voiced by Transformers’ star Josh Duhamel, a prisoner who must survive and escape the colony after an alien invasion has been caused by the prison’s warden. Until recently, the game was set to take place in the PUBG universe, but it was decided that it would not and just be considered its own story. The game appears to take a swerve into horror. Think Resident Evil in Space.
