The Callisto Protocol is returning with a piece of story DLC called Final Transmission, which comes to PS5 and PS4 exclusively for all of 48 hours on 27th June. It will then come to all other eligible platforms on 29th June. Little else is known about its content or pricing, but we're sure we'll learn more in the days to come.
If that weird period of exclusivity alone isn't enough to entice you back, Final Transmission will reportedly serve as the "final chapter" of the game and tie up some lingering threads. It's also one last shot at reaching the extremely ambitious sales expectations publisher KRAFTON put on Callisto Protocol, which was billed as being an "AAAA" quality game, lest we forget.
Did you play through The Callisto Protocol? Does the prospect of some more closure entice you? Watch out for potential ambushes on the way to the comments section below.

Man, that'll teach them a lesson jimmy r.
Payback for the weird 48-72 hour announcement embargoes Microsoft likes to do on Atlas games?
Yeah I will definitely wait for the sequel. I was hyped for it when it was revealed but the moment I saw the dodge system just being this mindless "Move left and then right" functionality over and over just made me lose interest so quickly along with the disappointing enemy designs.
Is this free or? I quite enjoyed the game and would definitely play this as a free update. Paid DLC is a maybe.
@TheCollector316
That’s what I was thinking!
Now that's what I call money well spent.

That’s actually nothing more than amusing. Only the desperate will ever notice.
@TheCollector316 didn’t Sony do some work on Callisto if I remember right? Probably get it slightly early for that.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I believe sony helped them with all their motion capture.
Oooh Nell's yeah
Kinda waiting on this game to hit Extra honestly. Then I'd buy dlc if it were any good.
This was likely arranged a long time ago.
As even the tone deaf Sony that exists today, would not likely be like “oh yah, that game that was overhyped and vastly under delivered,.... Yah, let's buy a couple days of exclusivity for its dlc! Mic drop!“
48h is way too short for a beta test. They won't have time to patch it on other platforms before release.
Callisto Protocol is a huge deal so I'm sure everyone's going to care a lot about a DLC coming two days sooner, right?
Wonder how much they paid for that exclusivity window? Whatever they could find down the back of the sofa it seems.
PS5 sales will go through the roof with all the Xbox and PC users unable to wait 2 days to get their hands on this! And if that's sarcasm, then what exactly IS the point?
Man I am going to lord it over those Xbox fools during those 2 days. Mwahh ha ha hahahahahahahah
If I was a Xbox user I'd stay off the internet for 48 hours!
(Real talk: this is really daft exclusive)
Well atleast this makes more sense than an embargo on a game we all knew was coming to playstations anyway 😅
Not surprised really. Sony had the marketing agreement and helped with it. It’s only 2 days too, it’s really not the end of the world
PR speak for "the Xbox release date slipped just a little".
But why? I mean, I'm not surprised considering their seemingly stronger relationship with Sony but seems little more than a slight inconvenience to players on other consoles rather than actually offering PS players something special.
I know it's relatively commonplace to have things like this but I just can't imagine it pulling that many more players over to another console.
Can it be purchased separately, because I need no season pass. Keep your skin's and wave modes. Story only.
I just bought it for 15 euro and I like it for at least 20 euro so money well spent. The game also is a looker. Haven't finished it yet and if I still like it at the end I'll buy the DLC at discount.
Money not well spent, might have been more impactful on the actual game at launch or a much more successful game like Hogwarts Legacy. Even the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC would have been a bigger get.
Great game personally, finished the campaign. Ended on a cliff hanger, so hopefully this DLC will tie it up.
@Axelay71 I agree! I know a lot of people didn't care for the game, but I thought it was a great sci-fi horror game and would definitely play some DLC or a sequel.
Shamefully,, I bought the Season Pass for this underwhelming game so I’ll play through this story DLC. But everything else that’s been released for it has been a total waste of $$ IMHO…..
Looking forward to the DLC. I really enjoyed the game. Just needed an extra couple of chapters.
@Greger22 I'm with you mate, brilliant game. Its probably because it's not multi player or open world. And getting compared to Deadspace to much. Yes its similar but still a great game on its own. Looking forward to the DLC
Somehow actually more pointless than Microsoft dictating announcement embargoes for third party games in their presentations.
Good chance will not be playing anything outside FF16, Doom and F1 for a bit, so not an issue.
Enjoyed the main game. Rented it from GameFly, so I'll happily spend some cash for the DLC.
Usually what I do with GameFly or PC GamePass. If play the main game using either subscription, I try and buy some of the Story DLC if an option.
@heyalright How are you not understanding how a sequel will fix the issues? Even if it wasn't announced a sequel gives the devs a chance to fix the flaws of the first game with new assets and especially with mostly everyone pointing out with how bad the combat was along with a lot of the game having you do nothing but move through vents.
Totally decent survival-horror with some easy to look past flaws. I finish very few games these days, and finished this one, so I guess that must count for something. Definitely interested in the final chapter DOC, but hoping it’s cheap…
I just paid $20 for this game, hopefully it is worth that.
I always viewed it as an uninspired Dead Space successor. There's just not a lot that excites me about it.
Great deal you got there sony
Oh boy! Timed exclusivity for a game that bombed so hard. I'm so glad I didn't pre-order.
Still waiting for the complete edition with all DLC to be $25 New or cheaper, before I ever consider giving it a chance.
@ear_wig @tameshiyaku @Jaz007 Sadly it's exclusive to their Season Pass, which costs $30 USD when not on sale.
Also the story DLC is definitely not free, for anyone wondering.
