The Callisto Protocol will get its ‘heart-pounding final chapter’ next week

destructoid.com:

While hype has definitely died down for Striking Distance Studio’s The Callisto Protocol, fans will be pleased to hear that some content is coming very soon. As of next week, you’ll be able to download “Final Transmission,” which is said, as the title denotes, to be the final chapter of the game.

A post on the official Twitter account describes the closing content as “heart-pounding,” and adds that PlayStation owners can exclusively get hold of the DLC 48 hours early. This means they can receive access to the title’s climactic chapter on June 27, while other systems will see it release on June 29.

When it launched in December 2022, The Callisto Protocol was met with a string of negative reviews. While touted as a spiritual successor to Dead Space, Glen Schofield’s latest horror outing was plagued with technical issues. The studio did roll out updates to try and patch some of the major ones out, but it was clear that fans were not impressed with the finished product on day one.

Prepare for Final Transmission, the heart-pounding final chapter of The Callisto Protocol.

Kind of like how Back 4 Blood was supposed to be a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead, but was, ultimately somewhat lacking.

In any case, for anyone who
