The Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios has announced its next game, Redacted. Set in the same sci-fi horror universe as The Callisto Protocol, the game will see players return to Black Iron Prison and face off against mutant prisoners and other survivors looking to escape the facility. It’ll launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 31.
Billed as a roguelike dungeon-crawler with a punk-rock attitude, the game will follow the genre formula of fighting, dying, dying again, fighting some more, and dying yet again until you eventually get a perfect run. As a security guard caught in the middle of rioting prisoners and scientific abominations, you’ll have access to an arsenal of weapons, skills, and more to help you survive.
Striking Distance says it is taking the classic roguelike formula and “cranking it to 11” in Redacted, while also throwing in a few ideas of its own to make each run feel different. The one interesting twist is that when your character inevitably dies, the next run will see you eventually fight your own reanimated corpse from the previous run. The stronger you were, the stronger it is, as your corpse is armed with the same weapons, upgrades, and skills from your last run.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the other survivors attempting to reach the last escape pod in Black Iron Prison will throw challenges at you or attempt to take you out before you can reach the pod, adding another wrinkle to the survival experience.
In case you missed it, Striking Distance’s first game was The Callisto Protocol, which was released back in December 2022. Game director Glen Schofield, who left the studio following the disappointing critical and commercial success of the game, recently claimed that the game was forced to ship early, which resulted in content being cut from it and impacting its development.
