Krafton’s independent studio Striking Distance Studio (SDS) released the survival horror game ‘Callisto Protocol’ worldwide on the 2nd.
Callisto Protocol is a game about survival in 2320 due to an unknown plague that spread to Jupiter’s moon ‘Callisto’. It can be played on consoles such as PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
SDS CEO Glenn Scofield, who developed the Callisto Protocol, said, “A great horror is handcrafted and has to come from intuition.” This will be added to provide users with a powerful and thrilling experience.”
Unlike other horror games, Callisto Protocol properly mixes melee and long-range combat in order to bring out the feeling of ‘desperate struggle for survival’. A combat system was implemented in which players had to strategically fight monsters using various weapons such as firearms, stun clubs, and grips (weapons using gravity).
Krafton CEO Kim Chang-han said, “Callisto Protocol will serve as a priming water for Krafton to solidify its position as a global game company that has continued to challenge the limits of genres and platforms.” It will give you a sense of fear that you have never experienced before.”
