Jacob isn’t a soldier, and every encounter is a life and death struggle. The Callisto Protocol is a survival horror game, so players should feel helpless. Players can freeze a rushing enemy in their tracks, or even throw Biophage into a nearby turbine fan or environmental hazard to escape a seemingly dire situation. We seamlessly blend melee combat and gunplay with a unique gravity weapon called the GRP.īlack Iron guards use the GRP to control the prison population, but it also allows Jacob to get creative in how he battles the Biophage. What would a horror game be without brutality? Striking Distance Studios has designed a strategic combat system that forces players to get up close and personal with our horrifying creatures. From the satisfying swing of Jacob’s stun baton, to the heavy footsteps of a massive enemy, the PS5 helps us make players feel every moment of the pulse-pounding tension.

We want your heart to race with every tick of the PS5’s awesome haptics. Sometimes we space scares out to give players time to catch their breath, and sometimes we hit them with two or three scares in a row. You can’t have jump scares around every corner. We also obsess over building and releasing tension. From the monstrous sounds of Biophage echoing down long dark hallways, to the ambient whirring of broken prison machinery, audio is a huge feature in making players feel trapped, isolated, and alone.

We also take full advantage of PS5’s 3D Audio capabilities and leverage acoustic ray tracing, diffraction, and portaling to fully immerse players in the world. We spend a ton of time designing the lighting to create a sense of dread and keep players guessing about what’s in the shadows. Callisto is an oppressive world that feels desolate, isolated, and puts players on edge. It’s about blending atmosphere, tension, brutality, helplessness, and humanity to thrill players … and hopefully scare the crap out of them. To bring the world of The Callisto Protocol to life, the team uses a process we call Horror Engineering to hand craft unforgettable scares. Prison guards and inmates are mutating into monstrous creatures called Biophage, and Jacob must battle to survive the horrors of Black Iron and uncover the dark secrets of the United Jupiter Company.Ĭreating terrifying moments in games is hard. There's also a glimpse of the domes that presumably make up the livable section of the prison.Set on Jupiter’s “dead moon” Callisto in 2320, The Callisto Protocol is the story of Jacob Lee, an inmate at Black Iron Prison who must fight for his life when a mysterious outbreak throws the moon into chaos. Meanwhile, an operator tells a ship called the Charon to begin landing, which we see as the trailer ends. We also see a mysterious figure watching a control panel with cameras, possibly the prison warden. This is vital to survival, as ammo and resources are scarce, so using the GRP to push an enemy into a wall of spikes or massive spinning fan could be key to making it through an area alive. Players can also use a gravity-based attack called the GRP, which can slam around enemies and objects. There's a heavy emphasis on contextual melee attacks, with the nature of an attack changing based on the positioning of the Biophage, Jacob Lee, and the environment around them. Players can fight them using weapons like a pistol or shotgun, as well as melee combat.
These creatures are hinted to be evolving over the course of the game, and can be dismembered, changing their attacks as they lose limbs. They come in a variety of forms, and are infecting the humans in the prison station. We've learned that these monsters are called Biophages.
