This January has seen The Callisto Protocol get one of its most substantial updates yet. Version 3.01 has launched on all available platforms and, besides squashing a multitude of bugs and balancing the action to curtail cheap deaths, this one brings New Game+.

Striking Distance and Krafton released The Callisto Protocol Version 3.01 and its accompanying patch notes on the game’s Subreddit on January 19, 2023. The main headliner of these patch notes is definitely New Game+. As promised back when the game launched in December, players who have finished The Callisto Protocol will now find a New Game+ option waiting for them back on the game’s main menu. There were also a wealth of fixes, balances, and tweaks to make it a more enjoyable experience. For instance, you can now vault over obstacles without taking cheap hits from enemies.
