Previously announced as Project Birdseye, [REDACTED], the roguelike action game is coming soon, so there was no rush to reveal it.

Black Iron, a state-of-the-art prison on Jupiter’s icy moon Callisto, is overrun with hordes of infected inmates. As a humble prison guard, your job is simple – get to the last escape pod and get out alive. But you’re not the only survivor trying to escape. Your rivals – a deranged warden, a violent gangster, a crazed lunch lady, and more – can’t wait to step over your corpse and save themselves. Only one of them can make it off the moon – make sure it’s you!

Every death is a learning experience. Start each run fresh, building your loadout with powerful experiments, weapon schematics, and buffs to battle your way through Black Iron. When you die (and you will), use your hard-earned loot to purchase new permanent weapons, suits, and skills. Get stronger, experiment with your strategy, and get out! You’re not the only one who survived the initial escape or is willing to use a little violence to get to the final escape pod. Some inmates, and even your fellow prison guards, are just as eager to escape and will make your escape more difficult by attacking you remotely or challenging you to a one-on-one duel. Race them, attack them remotely, and fight them to the death to make it out in one piece.

When you die, you leave behind more than a jumpsuit-clad corpse. Defeat the reanimated corpse of the last guard to succumb to the prison’s perils and earn a powerful experiment. But beware, this won’t be an easy fight. The semi-alive guard has the same loadout he had when he met his untimely end, plus a few extra tricks up his sleeve to keep things interesting. You’ve got the perfect build, fought through bosses, run through rivals, killed your corpse, found all the files, and now you’re standing in front of the last escape pod. Sure, you could leave it all behind for the sweet taste of freedom… or risk it all in one last hardcore do-or-die run back through the prison. If you fail, you will lose all of your purchased equipment, skills, suits, and weapons. But IF you succeed, you’ll unlock powerful new permanent gear. An irreverent attitude, unique presentation, vivid graphic novel style, and an original 180 bpm arcade punk soundtrack by Mutato Muzika enhance [REDACTED]’s science fiction setting and fast, white-knuckle action.

REDACTED] will be released on October 31st for $25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store; since The Callisto Protocol was also released with Denuvo, this will likely be the same).
