Striking Distance Studios has announced that Project Birdseye, its roguelike action title spinoff to The Callisto Protocol, is now called [REDACTED]. It launches on October 31st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Check out a new trailer below.
Set in Black Iron, players discover weapon schematics and “experiments” to unlock weapons, suits, and skills for each subsequent run. While horrifying creatures await, you must worry about Rivals, other prisoners and security guards seeking to escape. You can deal with them remotely or engage in 1v1 battles.
Of course, you need to deal with the previous run’s corpse, who uses the last loadout while adding some “extra tricks.” Interestingly, you could also ignore the escape pod in the end and go for “one last hardcore do-or-die run back”, which can unlock “powerful permanent gear” if you succeed.
Striking Distance also confirmed that Mutato Muzika, who worked on the Crash Bandicoot and Jak series, is composing the soundtrack. Stay tuned for more details on [REDACTED] shortly.
