The Callisto Protocol: How long is the game time?
In The Callisto Protocol you fight your way back to the surface of the moon of Jupiter as an inmate of an underground high-security wing. During your journey through the dark catacombs you will encounter horribly disfigured enemies and dangerous mutants. How long the game time of the horror adventure is explained in this article.
The Callisto Protocol: So long is game time
How long is The Callisto Protocol? The Dead Space-style survival horror adventure packs a decent punch. Comparable to epic open world adventures like Elden ring or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla but the playing time is not. You can expect the following playing times at The Callisto Protocol:
- Story: about 10 hours
- Story and Exploration: about 11 hours
- 100% completion: 14 hours and more
Actual playing time will of course vary depending on play style. If you have a lot of experience with action-adventures and are good at dealing with stressful situations in horror games, you can get through “The Callisto Protocol” in under ten hours. Since the levels are very straightforward, you rarely run the risk of getting lost.
If you still want to explore every corner and look for all the collectibles on your own, you will definitely make the most of the 14 hours. Another factor is the selected difficulty levelwhich is particularly important for platinum game ends and the 100 percent completion.
The Callisto Protocol: Extra Hard for Platinum players
If you want to complete The Callisto Protocol with the platinum trophy and unlock all the achievements, you can’t avoid the hardest difficulty level. The Protocol seeks Life gold trophy requires you to complete the game on Maximum Security Ward mode.
In this level of difficulty you have to reckon with significantly stronger resistance and more monsters. Then there is the search for a total of 43 finds, which you need for the Grim Reaper trophy. Even after the first run, there is no chapter selection in “The Callisto Protocol”.
You should therefore find as many collectibles as possible right away if you want to take the trophy with you in the first playthrough. Otherwise, you’ll have to start the game over to collect missed finds. You can find more information about the achievements in our Trophy Guide to The Callisto Protocol.
