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

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.
