Both Krafton titles are distinct from the existing battle royale-style games BGMI, PUGB, and New State Mobile. The Callisto Protocol is a third-person survival horror game set in the year 300. It takes place on Callisto, Jupiter's second-largest moon, with players taking on the role of Jacob Lee. "Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter's Dead Moon," according to the game's official Steam page.

The Callisto Protocol was first announced in June of this year, and it will be available for the Sony PlayStation 4 and 5 series, the Xbox One, the Xbox Series X and Series S, and the PC. It is currently available for pre-order on Steam for Rs 2,499.

Defense Derby, on the other hand, is a smartphone game and real-time strategic defence mobile game in which players must create a deck and defend their castle in the main PvP (player-versus-player) mode. Users will need to obtain cards through an auction system in order to build a powerful deck.

What to look forward to in Krafton's The Callisto Protocol and Defense Derby

He continued, "In addition to these [The Callisto Protocol and Defense Derby], we are keeping an eye on the marketing for new IPs. We've established more studios and are working on new titles ".
