New Screenshots, Details Revealed for ‘The Callisto Protocol’
Striking Distance Studios is still hard at work on developing The Callisto Protocol, which no doubt will please sci-fi horror and Dead Space fans (especially after that epic trailer last year). That’s not to say that they haven’t been giving fans little tidbits of what to expect, and that comes in the form of new screenshots for the upcoming action title.
Game Informer was the lucky recipient of the new screenshots, which are available in this month’s digital issue. Luckily, Twitter user IdleSloth84 shared some of those screenshots, as well as a few tidbits regarding the game.
Among those details is the release date of The Callisto Protocol, which is aiming for the “2nd half of 2022”, and will be cross-generational (yay for PS4 and Xbox One users). Much like Dead Space protagonist Isaac was able to use his Kenesis abilities, The Callisto Protocol‘s protagonist Jacob has ‘GRP’ abilities that allow him to push and pull things. That includes the Necromorph-like creatures in the game, which are called “Biophages”.
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.
The Callisto Protocol is in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Xbox Series and Xbox One.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
