The Callisto Protocol gets new game plus mode, bug fixes in new patch

Striking Distance Studios has released an update to its Sci-Fi Horror game. The Callisto ProtocolOn Thursday, the most significant addition will be in the form a game plus mode. This feature had been originally expected to be available in February. However, it was not ready for prime time. The Callisto ProtocolPlayers may decide to not play the game again until later (or earlier).

Players can carry their progress to the next save by playing New Game Plus. All weapons, upgrades and Callisto Credits players have accumulated can then be collected at their first Reforge station during the next run.

Latest patch The Callisto Protocol (version 3.01) doesn’t add enough to recommend a full replay, however. There are welcome bug fixes and performance optimizations, but the features that Striking Distance’s game needs — better checkpointing, game-wide cutscene skips, chapter selection, and hardcore difficulty mode (that’s due in February) — aren’t here yet.

Still, if you’re really into The Callisto Protocol’s brand of combat, and want to fully deck out Jacob Lee’s arsenal, it appears you finally have that option. Read on for everything else that’s changed with The Callisto Protocol’s new patch.
