<p>The Callisto Protocol is one of the most anticipated horror games in years and happens to be our <a href="https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/cover-reveal\/2022\/05\/19\/cover-reveal-the-callisto-protocol" target="_blank">June cover story<\/a>. One of the project\u2019s more intriguing aspects was that it canonically took place in the same universe as popular battle royale PUBG: Battlegrounds, albeit in the distant future and on another planet. As of today, that\u2019s no longer the case.<\/p>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Glen Schofield, The Callisto Protocol\u2019s creative director, took to Twitter to announce that the game now unfolds within its own story and fiction and not PUBG\u2019s. <\/p><\/p>\n

FYI @CallistoTheGame is its own story and world. It no longer takes place in the PUBG Universe. It was originally part of the PUBG timeline, but grew into its own world. PUBG is awesome, & we will still have little surprises for fans, but TCP is its own world, story and universe.<\/p>\n
<p>For those unaware, Krafton, the maker of PUBG, is publishing The Callisto Protocol, hence the connection. The change likely won\u2019t come as a huge loss. Even when TCP was connected to PUBG, Schofield always said it was a distant relation and that any references to the battle royale would be light at best. He reiterated as much in our cover story, stating: <\/p><\/p>\n
<p>\u201cThe idea of us being in the universe at first sound really good, and then as you start coming up with your story we realized, \u2018Wow, this is a little out there.\u2019 We built in some touchpoints, and you\u2019ll find them throughout the game like Easter eggs and things like that.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n
<p>Schofield also talked to us about The Callisto Protocol\u2019s now-former place in the broader PUBG timeline and how it affected the game\u2019s fiction and vice-versa: <\/p><\/p>\n
<p>\u201cWhen we came in, they had a lore team and they were writing this big story, like, \u2018Where does PUBG start? Where does it fit in?\u2019 They write this giant timeline and our writers are involved in helping. We sit on the timeline, but we sit pretty far out there, and kind of alone. So if they ever make another game, let\u2019s say that\u2019s after our timeline. I would imagine our game will inform that more than we are being informed by their timeline.\u201d <\/p><\/p>\n
<p>The Callisto Protocol launches later this year.
