Where does it fit in?’ They write this giant timeline and our writers are involved in helping. Schofield also talked to us about The Callisto Protocol’s now-former place in the broader PUBG timeline and how it affected the game’s fiction and vice-versa: “The idea of us being in the universe at first sound really good, and then as you start coming up with your story we realized, ‘Wow, this is a little out there.’ We built in some touchpoints, and you’ll find them throughout the game like Easter eggs and things like that.” He reiterated as much in our cover story, stating: The Callisto Protocol is a 2022 survival horror action video game developed by Striking Distance Studios and published by Krafton. Even when TCP was connected to PUBG, Schofield always said it was a distant relation and that any references to the battle royale would be light at best. The change likely won’t come as a huge loss. PUBG is awesome, & we will still have little surprises for fans, but TCP is its own world, story and universe.įor those unaware, Krafton, the owner of PUBG, is publishing The Callisto Protocol, hence the connection.
