The Callisto Protocol

The Callisto Protocol  is a 2022  survival horror   action  video game developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by  Krafton . It was directed by  Glen Schofield , who had previously co-created the  Dead Space  series. The game's story follows Jacob Lee ( Josh Duhamel ) who is sent to a prison facility set on the  Jovian  moon  Callisto  fighting against infected prisoners with an unknown disease while uncovering dark secrets of the facility. Gameplay has players exploring a series of levels, garnering resources while fighting off infected prisoners. Development of the game began with the formation of Striking Distance Studios in June 2019. Originally developed as a game set in the  PUBG: Battlegrounds  universe, it later evolved into an original  intellectual property . The game was released for  PlayStation 4 ,  PlayStation 5 ,  Windows ,  Xbox One , and  Xbox Series X/S  on December 2, 2022. It received mixed reviews. The game reportedly failed to meet the sales expectations of Krafton. In  The Callisto Protocol , players assume the role of Jacob Lee from a third-person perspective. Jacob's health is indicated by an implant on the back of his neck called a "C.O.R.E. Device". Health can be replenished with injectable packs found throughout levels. Jacob can use weapons to combat enemies, as well as a melee system to dodge enemy attacks while looking for openings to strike and kill them. Both combat styles can be mixed up, providing greater variety when facing enemy types. Jacob can collect and review audio logs during gameplay.
