The Callisto Protocol’s new “The Truth of Black Iron” trailer teases some of the mysteries of the upcoming game. This includes questions about the fate of Callisto’s previous colony, which disappeared sometime before the Black Iron prison’s construction. It’s also the first trailer to prominently feature Lee’s cellmate Danny Nakamura, voiced byThe Boys’ Karen Fukuhara. While Lee seems mainly concerned with escaping Callisto, Nakamura comes across as much more invested in the search for answers. She seems to be the primary force pushing Lee to unravel the conspiracy behind the alien mutagen that transformed Black Iron’s inmates intoThe Callisto Protocol’s horrific Biophages.
An LA-born actress of Japanese descent, Karen Fukuhara’s entertainment career began when the Disney Channel cast a teenaged Fukuhara as a host for its entertainment news program Movie Surfers. However, the actress is better known for portraying Kimiko Miyashiro inAmazon Prime’sThe Boys. Fukuhara’s other prominent roles include the superheroine Katana in the 2016 filmSuicide Squadand Glimmer in the Netflix showShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She has also voiced supporting characters in Cartoon Network’sCraig of the Creek, FX’s Archer, and Disney’sStar Wars: Visions, and the titular character in Netflix’sKipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
Developers confirmed Fukuhara’s role as Danny Nakamura inThe Callisto Protocolsome time ago. However, fans haven’t seen anything of the character until the game’s latest trailer earlier today.The Callisto Protocol’s previous trailersfocused almost exclusively on protagonist Jacob Lee and Black Iron’s sinister and mysterious Warden, who seems to be the game’s primary antagonist. Today’s trailer not only reveals Nakamura’s appearance but also appears to confirm that she will have a very significant role in the upcoming game.
The Callisto Protocolreleases on December 2 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
