Striking Distance Studios has revealed that The Callisto Protocol is no longer part of the PUBG universe, with Glen Schofield revealing the project is its ‘own story and world.’
Schofield revealed the news as part of an extensive cover story by Game Informer, in which he revealed had the links to PUBG remained in place, the upcoming sci-fi horror romp would been “pretty far out” along the timeline.
“When we came in, [Krafton] had a lore team and they were writing this big story, like, ‘Where does PUBG start? Where does it fit in?'” He added on Twitter that while The Callisto Protocol “was originally part of the PUBG timeline, [it] grew into its own world,”
The idea of us being in the universe at first sound really good, and then as you start coming up with your story we realised, ‘Wow, this is a little out there.’ PUBG is awesome, and we will still have little surprises for fans,” he added, “but TCP is its own world, story and universe.
