The Callisto Protocol devs unveil new game [REDACTED]

Striking Distance Studios is a relatively new team known for their work on 2022’s The Callisto Protocol. Though the game received a somewhat mixed reception, the team are continuing to evolve the setting of Callisto: announcing a new – very different – game known as [REDACTED].

Making the announcement via an official reveal trailer, the team at Striking Distance Studios officially unveiled project Birdseye as [REDACTED]: “A fast-action isometric roguelike [in which] a shadowy agent watches Black Iron Prison spiral into chaos. As one of the last guards, fight through monsters, rivals, and reanimated corpses of your fellow guards to escape the penitentiary alive.”

For the uninitiated, Black Iron is described as “a state-of-the-art penitentiary located on Jupiter’s icy moon Callisto” which has been overrun by infected inmates. Of course, fans of the studio’s prior work will be familiar with the setting, as [REDACTED] appears to be set in the same world as The Callisto Protocol.

There is still much to learn about the game, but luckily, those waiting won’t have to do so for long, as the game is set to launch on the 31st of October – just in time for Halloween.
