For the release date mix-up, my unfounded, speculative guess is there was a 12/2 – 2/12 mix-up. Dates are silly.
Surviving at 60 frames per second
WB Games Montreal made some news when a developer confirmed on Discord thatGotham Knights‘ console iterationswould not have a performance mode. There will only be 30 FPS options for the new Bat-family beat ’em up.
Gotham Knightsmoved from being a cross-gen launch toonly releasing onPlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC players, meanwhile,will be able to get 60 FPSout of the brawler if their rig can handle it.
Whether this was an intentional jab or just a confirmation, it’s still at least good news for folks who like lots of frames in their horror games.
The Callisto Protocolis the debut game from Striking Distance Studios, founded byDead Spaceco-creator Glen Schofield. While once set within thePUBGuniverse, theworld is now its ownand its looking to tell a pretty scary, visceral survival horror story.
I’d have to imagine those brutal fights with space terrors will probably look nice running at 60 FPS.The Callisto Protocolis set for July 27, 2025.
