The Callisto Protocol is the latest AAA survival horror game on the market. Set on a prison on the moon Callisto, this space horror title comes from Dead Space creative director Glen Schofield and his new team at Striking Distance Studios.
In the vein of its predecessors, The Callisto Protocol is a short and relatively focused game. It won’t take you dozens of hours like a giant RPG. Fans of the genre should understand generally what hour range these games can fall into, but where exactly does The Callisto Protocol land on that spectrum?
How Long is The Callisto Protocol?
According to Howlongtobeat.com, average playtimes for The Callisto Protocol typical fall between 9.5 and 11 hours.
This was a bit longer than my playtime for our The Callisto Protocol review, which clocked in a little over 7 hours, probably closer to 8 when you count all the deaths. So there’s a bit of variation depending on player skill level as well as difficulty.
This play time is pretty similar to the averages for the first two Dead Space titles. As far as more contemporary action horror games go, The Callisto Protocol is about on par with Resident Evil: Village and falls within the range it took most players to finish Resident Evil 2.
It’s worth nothing that unlike many of these games, The Callisto Protocol does not have a New Game Plus feature yet, but it is scheduled to be patched in next year.
