So, with Striking Distance Studios’ The Callisto Protocol now out in the wild (read Thomas’ review here), one of the qualms about the game for some is its lack of post-game content. Namely, where’s the New Game+? Even Dead Space had that. Luckily, the developers have the answer, which includes six months of content starting in the new year.
Kicking off on February 7, players will be getting a free update for The Callisto Protocol that includes post-game content in the form of Hardcore Mode and New Game+. Not only that, the first of the Season Pass content will drop with the Outer Way Skin Collection.
Following that, the Season Pass content will continue to trickle out, with the Contagion Bundle launching in March 2023 (which also includes an increased difficulty and permadeath), followed by the Riot Bundle later that Spring, which includes a wave-based Horde Mode. Both bundles will also feature new death animations that will no doubt please those folks looking to exact more punishment on poor Jacob.
Finally, the first story-based content for the game is expected in Summer 2023. Striking Distance Studios hasn’t elaborated on just what this new story content will be, other than it inviting the player to “[d]ig deeper into the horrifying secrets of The Callisto Protocol“.
The Callisto Protocol is out now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
Six months of content coming to The Callisto Protocol beginning Feb 7, 2023, with a free update of Hardcore Mode and New Game+. More details for this and the Season Pass coming soon. pic.twitter.com/43mLjK93IP
