The Callisto Protocol’s Japanese Version Has Been Canceled Due To Its Violent Content

The Callisto Protocol’s Japanese version has been canceled due to the game’s violent content and the rating it received in Japan, or lack thereof, as a result. 

This is the source of this news The Callisto Protocol’s Japanese Twitter account, which reveals that the game could not achieve an age rating with CERO (which is Japan’s equivalent to the United States’ ESRB rating). The game cannot therefore be permitted to be released as-is in the country. Below is the translation of what the studio had said. Eurogamer. 

“The Callisto Protocol decided not to release the Japanese version. At this point, CERO ratings cannot be passed. We decided not to be able provide the service you require. We trust everyone will get it. You will be refunded if your order has been placed. 

The Callisto Protocol is not being released in Japan. Striking Distance has decided not to modify or alter the content of their game in order to comply with CERO ratings. The Callisto Protocol seems to be creating something terrifying, considering the horrors of Japan.
