New details about Striking Distance Studios' new sci-fi horror, The Callisto Protocol, are set to be revealed next week.

That's according to Striking Distance Studios CEO Glen Schofield, who teased yesterday that "now might be a good time to start" keeping an eye on updates from the studio.

Up until now, the studio has been playing its cards very close to the chest indeed, but yesterday - fittingly Friday 13th - Schofield teased on his personal Twitter account that we should "look for some news next week", before dropping the wondeerfully gross image of a close-up of one of The Callisto Protocol's creatures below.

"If you don’t already follow @CallistoTheGame now might be a good time to start," Schofield said.

If you don’t already follow @CallistoTheGame now might be a good time to start.

Look for some news next week.  Until then, here’s a closeup of one of the creatures from our world class character team.  They’re incredible!

As Schofield told us in an interview when the horror was revealed, the story's set in a distant future on Callisto, Jupiter's second-largest moon, and equal in size to a planet like Mercury - "It's a good size moon!" Glen said - and is confirmed to be third person and single player.

I've been wanting to do another sci-fi horror game.

I mean, you know, I love doing sci fi and I love doing horror.
