The Callisto Protocol gameplay has finally been revealed alongside a release date set for December 2, 2022.

A third-person survival horror game, developer Striking Distance Studios was founded by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Schofield explained said "I'm excited to be returning to my roots with an all-new take on the sci-fi survival horror genre."

That influence is clear in its reveal trailer, with horrifying monsters and zombie-like creatures all throughout its futuristic setting of Jupiter's moon. You play as Jacob Lee, voiced by Josh Duhamel, who is a prisoner on the moon trying to survive during a "mysterious outbreak" that's mutating people into terrible monsters called Biophage.

Schofield says "horror starts with atmosphere," and that special antention has been paid to things like lighting and the PS5's 3D audio. The Callisto Protocol will also take advantage of The Dualsense controller's haptics for everything from heavy enemy footsteps to swinging your weapon.

Speaking of combat, the blog post describes it as having a "a strategic combat system that forces players to get up close and personal with our horrifying creatures." Additionally, you'll use a gravity weapon named the GRP to mix ranged and melee, allowing you to do things like freeze enemies in place or use pieces of the terrain as a defensive tool.

The Callisto Protocol was originally was originally supposed to be set in the same universe as PUBG, but it was recently announced that was no longer the case

Stray, the game about a cat navigating a cyberpunk city, will be released on July 19 for PS4 and PS5.

Shown at Sony's State of Play event today, the PlayStation console exclusive puts players in the furry little feet of a cat lost in a futuristic cyber city that's falling apart. Separated from its family, the cat must solve an ancient mystery and find its way home with the help of a small robot friend known as B12.

It was also announced that Stray will be on PlayStation Plus at launch for members of the "Extra" tier and above.

In a PlayStation blog post, BlueTwelve Studio producer Swann Martin-Raget reminsced on Stray's seven-year development, and the challenges that came with making a believable, playable cat:

"Trying to control a cat – whether it’s in real life or when making a video game – is definitely not a walk in the park! From the very beginning, we knew that the controls and animations of our star character needed to be absolutely spot-on in order to properly convey this exhilarating feeling of skills and movement. So Miko, our cat animator, took the challenge to heart and spent considerable time looking for images and video references. The good and somewhat surprising thing we found is this: It really seems that the whole internet was basically invented for the sole purpose of hosting loads of cute cat pictures and videos! So we ended up having a lot of very good material to work with for references."

Of course, there are plenty of real-life cats around Stray's team, too. Apparently, around 80% of their studio has cats at home, and they have two office cats named Oscar and Jun. Unfortunately, the blog post did not include any photos of either of them.

Stray was first announced alongside the PS5 itself, but was pushed from a 2021 release into this year. The 3D adventure has you piloting a cat through a robot-filled city, avoiding dangers and making friends along the way.
