The Callisto Protocol update 3.02 landed today and the patch notes show the team has added a new Hardcore mode as well as new Trophies to go with it.

The Callisto Protocol update 3.02 Hardcore mode patch notes

The previously promised Hardcore mode is “intended to push you to your limits” and is “not for the faint of heart”. Things are made more difficult by increased enemy damage and mutation speed, while factors that have been decreased include Stun Baton damage, Contraband value, and the chances of finding ammo, health, and credits. The patch notes also include a handful of bug fixes, including localization fixes and issues with multiple enemy AI. You can see the full patch notes below.

  • Decreased Stun Baton damage
  • Increased enemy mutation speed
  • Contraband value is reduced
  • Hardcore Mode New Game+ (requires completion of standard Hardcore Mode playthrough)
  • New Achievements / Trophies to hunt

Global

  • Players that were not correctly granted the “The Protocol is About Life” achievement upon completing the game will be automatically granted the achievement
  • Localization fixes for leveling and VO/subtitle mismatches
