Redacted Is A Punk-Rock Roguelike Set In The Callisto Protocol Universe, And It'll Be Out Soon

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say the announcement of Redacted by Striking Distance Studios has me both excited and slightly apprehensive. Having survived countless hours of sci-fi horror games set in bleak, dystopian worlds, I can’t help but feel a sense of familiarity with Black Iron Prison.


Striking Distance Studios, creators of The Callisto Protocol, have unveiled their next project, tentatively titled Unnamed. This new title will once again plunge players into the chilling sci-fi horror realm as they battle mutant inmates and fellow escapees within Black Iron Prison. The game is scheduled for release on October 31 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

From a die-hard fan perspective: This game, with its punk-rock spirit, is marketed as a gritty dungeon-crawler where the motto seems to be ‘fight, fall, rise, fight some more, only to fall again… until you’ve mastered the art of survival.’ As a security guard ensnared in the chaos of rebellious inmates and terrifying aberrations, I find myself equipped with an array of weapons, abilities, and other resources to aid me in my quest for survival.

In Redacted, Striking Distance plans to amplify the traditional roguelike mechanics to a higher level, and infuse fresh ideas to keep every playthrough unique. An intriguing twist in this game is that as your character perishes, you’ll encounter your resurrected corpse from the previous run in future battles. The more powerful you were, the more formidable it becomes, since your corpse wields the same weapons, enhancements, and abilities you had during your last playthrough.

As if the perilous journey toward the final escape pod in Black Iron Prison wasn’t tense enough, fellow survivors won’t hesitate to hurl obstacles in your path or even try to eliminate you en route, making the survival experience that much more intricate and demanding for me.

If you haven’t heard already, The Callisto Protocol marked Striking Distance’s debut game, launched in December 2022. However, after the game faced mixed reviews both critically and commercially, its director Glen Schofield left the studio. More recently, he alleged that the game was hurriedly released, leading to the removal of certain content and affecting its overall progression.
