A few hours ago, Striking Distance Studios revealed that patch 3.01 had been released for The Callisto Protocol. Its highlight is the addition of the New Game Plus mode, which allows users to restart a new game with all of the unlocks made with the completed save file.
The full patch notes are available below.

Sadly, neither this patch nor the previous one (version 2.01, released on December 15th) included any real performance optimizations for the PC version of The Callisto Protocol, which launched in a very disappointing state. We recently learned that the game cost over $160 million, and its updated sales projections aren't nearly as high as publisher Krafton had hoped.
