Striking Distance Studios' The Callisto Protocol launches in December, and the survival horror game has fans of the Dead Space series excited for Glen Schofield's latest horror adventure. Gamers have more than just the base game to look forward to, as there are a wealth of editions of The Callisto Protocol available for purchase, with each giving players different in-game bonuses and even some collectibles.
Set inside the Black Iron Prison on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter, The Callisto Protocol is a futuristic horror game that places players in the role of Jacob Lee, an inmate inside the maximum security facility. When an outbreak begins transforming his fellow inmates into monsters, fans must help guide Jacob through Black Iron while adapting their combat techniques to account for the evolving nature of the enemies they face in the third-person adventure. Similar to the Dead Space series, The Callisto Protocol is full of creative and gory death scenes for Jacob, with Striking Distance even going so far as to creating an achievement for seeing all the death scenes in the game.
The Callisto Protocol Standard and Deluxe Editions
The Standard Edition of The Callisto Protocol transports players to Callisto in 2320 on December 2 with the Day One Edition of the game. The Standard Edition is simply the base version of the game, getting players who just want to play the core action and mutations of The Callisto Protocol into the action without any additional frills and very few add-ons on top of the core game.
For the PS4 and Xbox One, The Callisto Protocol Standard Edition will set players back $59.99 USD and get them in the action on December 2, while fans playing on the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S will have to pay a little more for the next-gen version which retails at $69.99 USD. PC players can find The Callisto Protocol on Steam for $59.99 USD, and all players that pre-order the Standard Edition of the game will receive the Retro Prisoner Skins digital customization item, regardless of which platform they purchased the game on.
The Deluxe Edition of The Callisto Protocol also gets players into the game at launch on December 2 and costs $79.99 for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players paying $89.99 for the next-gen version of the game. Players purchasing the Deluxe Edition will also receive the Retro Prisoner skins for Jacob Lee and his weapons, along with the Season Pass for The Callisto Protocol, including future DLC that is yet to be announced.
The Callisto Protocol Collector's Edition
Fans who want to really dive in and bring home some collectibles to commemorate the launch of The Callisto Protocol can throw down some cash for the Collector's Edition of the game, which is a Gamestop exclusive. Given that it is one of the most anticipated games of the Fall 2022 season, there will undoubtedly be some fans willing to spend the $239.99 for last-gen or $249.99 USD for current-gen in order to get all the collectible goodness The Callisto Protocol has to offer.
Inside the Collector's Edition, fans will get The Callisto Protocol Season Pass and Retro Prisoner Skins, along with a lot of other items including a steelbook case and collectible pins, along with the #0 edition of The Callisto Protocol comic. The centerpiece of the Collector's Edition is undoubtedly the statue of Jacob Lee, which features the game's protagonist in the midst of combat with one of the morphing biophage enemies found throughout the game. The Callisto Protocol Collector's Edition is only available on consoles, so PC players will be limited to choosing between the Standard Edition and Deluxe Editions of the game.
The Callisto Protocol releases December 2 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
