The Callisto Protocol’s review embargo will lift on the game’s launch day

The Callisto Protocol is looking to be one of the most exciting new IP releases of 2022, with the game set to arrive in a few short days on the 2nd of December. In a slight moment of potential concern, it has now been revealed that The Callisto Protocol’s review embargo will lift on the game’s day of release.

As reported by Twisted Voxel, The Callisto Protocol will see its review embargo lift on the 2nd of December 2022 at 6 AM CEST (4 AM GMT), the same day as the game’s release date.

While not necessarily cause for concern in its own right, it is worth noting as some games have in the past used such tight embargo deadlines in order to mask potential criticism – and to prevent players from possibly cancelling their pre-orders.

That being said, we have in the past also seen universally acclaimed titles have their review embargoes set as their launch day (as was the case with DOOM 2016) – so it could go either way.

Regardless, those who have purchased the game physically will be met with a rather hefty launch-day patch weighing in at almost 27GB. Hopefully neither the patch nor the review embargo is cause for concern – though we will simply have to wait and see.
