If you couldn’t get into The Callisto Protocol but enjoyed the setting, there’s good news. [REDACTED], a roguelike spin-off, is now available early for pre-orders. Check out the launch trailer below to see it in action.
As a guard who’s woken up on the wrong end of an infestation in Black Iron prison, players must escape. It’s easier said than done, especially with prisoners and other security guards (referred to as Rivals) hampering your progress. Fortunately, you can find weapon schematics to unlock an ever-growing arsenal alongside skills and suits for future runs.
Some interesting twists include sabotaging your Rivals remotely and even fighting your corpse from a previous failed run. If the action and arcade-punk soundtrack (courtesy of Crash Bandicoot and Jak series composer Mutato Muzika) isn’t enough, you can also go for a final runback to receive “powerful permanent gear.” Failure means losing everything, though.
[REDACTED] is out worldwide on October 31st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
