Depending upon when you read this, The Callisto Protocol is out today on PS5 and PS4. But that doesn’t mean developer Striking Distance Studios is done with the game. In addition to the previously announced Season Pass, the firm has confirmed there’ll be a free update on 7th February, which will include New Game+ and Hardcore Mode. These will be available to everyone who owns the game.
The first phase of the aforementioned Season Pass will also start on 7th February, with the Outer Way Skin Collection. This will be followed by the controversial Contagion Bundle in March, which will add new death animations for protagonist Jacob, and the Riot Bundle in April, which will feature fresh death animations for foes. Finally, there’ll be new story content in the summer.
Why is this getting detailed just prior to the title launching? Well, it’s because generally publishers don’t want you to immediately trade in single player games, so they’ll often release a roadmap to help encourage you to hold onto your copies. In this case, we reckon the post-launch support is looking relatively robust – we’re especially looking forward to that New Game+ option.

I was so pissed when I found out this is a global release and I couldn‘t play it on midnight.
so wait 2months for buying it so bugs etc fixed.
or wait for dlc in march..... by then probably price drop too
Hopefully hardcore mode is the same as dead space 2. Im up for it!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those two features just stated to be in the controversial season pass? I thought those features were more of a reason to be upset than so called new death animations. Again, I could be wrong.
Oh dear, i'm not expecting much from this anyway. So meh.
Roll on Dead Space remake 😀
@kang81, yes there has been some media controversey over it. Free publicity for a game i suspect is going to fail.
Just looked on psn, guess its not releasing at gmt. One person on my friendslist has pre ordered it.....he's a random i met on some game somewhere whenever.
He doesnt count 😉
Im looking forward to this more than dead space remake as ive already played dead space and I want something new
i just ignore any supposed controversies now. most of it is mountains out of mole hills and stuff that doesnt matter just the games media making up stories so they have some news
@stvevan too many games out and I’m only just starting Death Stranding and loving the atmosphere
When I read the headline I was hoping they were adding a PSVR2 mission or content, especially since they worked closely with Sony on the development/motion capture of the game.
Still hoping at some point!
As a non-english speaker for a moment I thought the title was referring to some kind of campaign to unlock content already on the game but locked. Free Willy.
Love the free content, happy to see this!
I can wait for the cheaper gold edition. Already too much to play.
