This week marks an important milestone for us with the launch of The Callisto Protocol for the PS5 Pro. We’ve poured our hearts into creating what we hope is a truly special experience. Back in 2022, with the original release of The Callisto Protocol, one of our goals was to work towards blurring the line between film and real-time gameplay, utilizing technologies and lighting fidelity that, until recently, were exclusive to the film industry.
This included not only the visual fidelity of the cutscenes but, more importantly, the visual fidelity within dynamic gameplay—which takes place in high-density environments illuminated by dozens of physically accurate lights, most of which feature ray-traced shadows, transmission, and reflections.
With the PS5 Pro, we’ve aimed to take this vision further—working to deliver this cinematic quality alongside smoother frame rates and enhanced image fidelity through high-resolution rendering.
Behind this achievement are not only exceptional developers but also incredible individuals with the biggest and most brave hearts—colleagues and now friends who came together to overcome challenges that once seemed almost impossible. I’m incredibly proud of what this dream team has accomplished. It is a true honor to share this journey with all of you.

QA is like a nursery for game developers, I know at least 3 graphics programmers and of other developers that started their career in QA testing. Worth considering it as an option when looking for a first step in the industry.

It's with the highest of emotion that I am able to share with you our final ascension to the mountain that was releasing The Callisto Protocol and it's DLC. I am truly humbled and could not be more honored and proud of the core, tech art and render teams we assembled and I look forward to our future together.
Please join us tomorrow, on Tuesday 8th, for our talk at #SIGGGRAPH2023 about The Rendering of The Callisto Protocol. We will dive deep in on how our team pursued film quality and photorealism on The Callisto Protocol.
A special thanks to our Principal Lighting Artist, Yan Ostretsov, for the renders in this tweet and to our Director of Lighting, Atsushi Seo (@_atsushi_), and his entire Lighting team for all of the incredible work that they have done to elevate the visuals.

zahiri is a miner I introduced to the party a couple of sessions ago, and they basically saved her from carrion crawlers in the mine she was trapped in! she didn't have a visual reference until now
