Developer Striking Distance Studios has confirmed that The Callisto Protocol release date will not be delayed and, to scare off any concerns about frame rate, will have 60 FPS performance mode. This dispels rumors started yesterday, which we believed to be false at the time, that the game’s release date had been pushed to February 12, 2022.
The Callisto Protocol does what Gotham Knights don’t on PS5
We would love to inform you all that we will be shipping globally on December 2nd. And yes, we'll have a 60 FPS performance mode.

Providing a short but sweet statement on the official Twitter account for the game, the developer verifies that the global release date of December 2, 2022 has not moved:
We would love to inform you all that we will be shipping globally on December 2nd. And yes, we’ll have a 60 FPS performance mode.
Some users reacting to the news believe that the developers have taken this opportunity to throw some shade at both Gotham Knights and A Plague Tale: Requiem, which are locked at 30 FPS on consoles including the PS5. A Rocksteady developer also claimed earlier this week that the Xbox Series S was holding back multiplatform games due to its “potato” GPU.
As for The Callisto Protocol release date, Epic Games admitted to making a mistake yesterday for its Halloween sale, which accidentally stated that it would be February 12. As reported at the time, the error is likely due to a common date transcription error where the day and month in a date is typically reversed between America and Europe.
