Why Is The Callisto Protocol Banned in Japan?

Could Not Receive a CERO Rating

On October 27, 2022, The Callisto Protocol's official Japanese Twitter account announced that the game would not be released in Japan.

This cancellation was due to the game not passing the standards of CERO, a Japanese content rating organization, and the developers' refusal to modify the game experience to fit the organization's standards and risk of not being able to meet players' expectations.

Likely Due to Violent Content

The Callisto Protocol - Likely Due to Violent Content
While there has been no official statement from Striking Distance Studios confirming the exact reason for The Callisto Protocol's failure to meet CERO's rating, it is very likely due to the game's high amounts of gore and violent content.

In particular, the game's inclusion of uncensored decapitation and dismemberment could be some of the major factors that contributed to the game's lack of a CERO rating.

No Recent Developments

As of December 1, 2022, there have been no official follow-up statements regarding the full circumstances of the cancellation or if there will be any possibility of The Callisto Protocol releasing in Japan in the future.
