Introducing ‘Project Birdseye’: The New Spin-Off Game from The Callisto Protocol!
The team at Striking Distance Studios has unveiled an exciting new project, known internally as ‘Project Birdseye’. This action roguelike game is set in the same universe as the upcoming survival horror title, The Callisto Protocol, slated for release in 2022.
In a recent announcement, the developers shared a glimpse of the game through a video, showcasing their passion for creating a fast-paced and engaging roguelike experience within the Black Iron Prison setting.
While Project Birdseye is not a direct sequel to The Callisto Protocol, it serves as a unique side quest that expands upon the game’s world and allows the team to explore new creative avenues without impacting their next big AAA title.
Community feedback has been essential to shaping the direction of The Callisto Protocol, and Striking Distance is eager to involve players in the early stages of Project Birdseye’s development to ensure it resonates with fans.
Last year, job listings hinted at a new Unreal Engine 5 game in the works at Striking Distance Studios, signaling a fresh start for the studio after facing layoffs and the departure of its CEO in 2023.
Despite challenges in the past, the team remains committed to delivering innovative and immersive gaming experiences, with Project Birdseye poised to capture the imaginations of players looking for a thrilling roguelike adventure.
