Skybound Games will act as a strategic partner for Krafton and Striking Distance Studios to take over international marketing and distribution, according to a released press release.

Skybound Entertainment will be an “incredible partner” to help “bring the world of The Callisto Protocol into games and beyond,” according to Striking Distance Studios chief Glen Schofield.

Skybound Entertainment CEO Robert Kirkman echoes Schofield: “With Skybound, The Walking Dead has grown from original comics to TV shows, books, video games, merchandise and so on. Looking forward to exploring similar opportunities with The Callisto Protocol. “

Recall that The Callisto Protocol’s events unfold in 2320 on Callisto, the second-largest moon of Jupiter. Users will have to get out of the Black Metal prison and find out its terrible secrets.

At the same time, The Callisto Protocol belongs to the same universe as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. However, as Schofield recently said, the connection between the two games will be “not very deep. “

The Callisto Protocol is expected to be released in 2022 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and S. Earlier, it was reported that Striking Distance Studios is aiming to create “the scariest game in history. “
