The Epic store continues its generous policy during the holiday season as the store officially announced that the cinematic survival horror game The Callisto Protocol will be available for free for a limited time starting today and in some regions starting December 25.
After offering Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for free in the previous promotion, The Callisto Protocol represents a quantum leap in the level of free games, being a relatively recent AAA title that relied on a huge production and an experience designed specifically for horror and survival fans.
The fact that the game is backed by some of the biggest names in the industry, most notably Glen Schofield, one of the key minds behind the Dead Space series, makes the current offer one of the strongest that Epic has offered during its year-end campaigns.
This approach reflects Epic’s continued use of mega games as a strategic tool to boost its digital library and solidify the habit of relying on its store, especially during peak periods such as the holiday season.
The Callisto Protocol is a third-person survival horror experience developed by Striking Distance studio led by Glenn Schofield.
The game takes place inside the high-security Black Iron prison on Jupiter’s moon Callisto, where the protagonist finds himself in the midst of a terrifying outbreak of deformed creatures and is forced to fight a bloody struggle for survival.
The Callisto Protocol relies on a heavy psychological horror atmosphere, close combat focused on direct engagements, cinematic storytelling, and high-quality audio and visual design. Despite the controversy that accompanied the game at launch, The Callisto Protocol has over time managed to establish a clear identity and become an appreciated experience for a wide range of horror and survival gamers.
If you’re a fan of the genre, this is an unmissable opportunity to add one of the most notable modern horror games to your library for free.
