It looks like some fresh new content is making its way into The Callisto Protocol. Fans of the survival sci-fi horror genre are in for a real treat at the moment, with both The Callisto Protocol and the Dead Space remake currently in their orbit. While The Callisto Protocol has been out for a little bit longer than the recently-released Dead Space remake, there are still plenty of new activities planned for the title.

Players will be excited to see the release of a new free update for The Callisto Protocol, which has been revealed by the game’s creator and director Glen Schofield. Taking to Twitter earlier, Schofield announced the launch of a new mode for the grisly horror action title. Players will be able to dial up the challenge factor even further thanks to the addition of Hardcore Mode, which will be implemented today, February 7. The new mode comes after the recent release of New Game Plus, which has given those keen for a second trip around the depths of Black Iron Prison plenty to keep themselves busy with.
