We can’t wait to see where its powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay head in the future with our new studio team at Cloud Chamber leading the charge. Over in Montreal, Ken Schachter will be taking on the studio manager role for Cloud Chamber who has, "extensive experience in development, production, technology and creative roles." Schachter has previously worked at Zynga and Gameloft and founded the independent game developer and publisher, Trapdoor.ĭavid Ismailer, president of 2K said, "BioShock is one of the most beloved, critically praised and highest-rated franchises of the last console generation. We are a deeply experienced group of game makers, including many responsible for BioShock’s principal creation, advancement and longstanding notoriety, and honoured to be part of the 2K family as stewards of this iconic franchise.” Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity, in both the makeup of the studio and the nature of its thinking. Kelley Gilmore said, “We founded Cloud Chamber to create yet-to-be-discovered worlds – and their stories within – that push the boundaries of what is possible in the video game medium. Gilmore is also the first woman in 2K's history to launch and lead a development studio. Gilmore has previously worked on the Sid Meier’s Civilization and XCOM franchises. The studio is being led by Kelley Gilmore, a 22-year industry veteran with over 40 games shipped to date. 2K describes the studio in its press release as, "A collective of storytellers eager to push the frontlines of interactive entertainment by making unique, entertaining and thoughtful experiences that engage the world." You don't open a new studio to not make a game you wait until they release the game and then close the studio - if you're 2K, anyway.Cloud Chamber will be based in Novato, California and Montreal, Quebec. While 2K clearly might change their mind again, this seems to be the biggest indication yet that a new BioShock really is real. Then in 2018 we heard rumours of a new BioShock at a mysterious new studio, and I guess that's this. 2K said BioShock would continue at 2K Marin, the studio behind BioShock 2, though it sounded iffy because 2K Marin was commonly understood to be alive in name only. Irrational Games, who led development of the first BioShock, were gutted in 2014, a year after the launch of Binfinite. Our former Alec (RPS in peace) looked to the future a few years back too, telling us what he wanted from a new BioShock. I'd assume that it'll yet again be an FPS set in a strange city built to manifest idealism, that we'll have guns and magic powers, and we'll probably be pushed to protect some doll-eyed wean? Looking at Cloud Chamber's logo (the only new image accompanying today's announcement), I do now want BioShock set inside Gnog headcities.ĭo check out our BioShock group verdict for thoughts on what the series has been across its first three games. We are a deeply experienced group of game makers, including many responsible for BioShock's principal creation, advancement and longstanding notoriety, and honoured to be part of the 2K family as stewards of this iconic franchise."ĢK really have said naff-all about what this new BioShock is. "Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity, in both the makeup of the studio and the nature of its thinking. "We founded Cloud Chamber to create yet-to-be-discovered worlds – and their stories within – that push the boundaries of what is possible in the video game medium," Gilmore said. Levine's only one fella, mind, and the games were made by hundreds of people. The fact that the announcement doesn't mention long-time BioShock creative director Ken Levine would suggest he's not involved (last we heard, he's up to who-knows-what at Ghost Story Games). Supposedly some BioShock veterans are involved, though it's not clear who. The new studio is headed by Kelley Gilmore, and split between 2K's headquarters in Novato, California and a new office in Montreal, Quebec. "We can't wait to see where powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay head in the future with our new studio team at Cloud Chamber leading the charge," 2K president David Ismailer said in today's announcement. The Rumored BioShock 4 The Rumor comes from a podcast called Sacred Symbols, the podcast is focused on PlayStation News, Colin Moriarty speaks about PlayStation news. The new BioShock is being made by Cloud Chamber, a new studio who'll be working on the game "for the next several years." Don't hold your breath. Now, it appears that a new direction for the BioShock series is coming out as more concrete rumors about a Bioshrelease have been floating around the internet. 2K have muttered about resurrecting it several times in the years since the release of BioShock Infinite and demise of creators Irrational Games, and this time it seems to be real. 2K don't reveal even the name of the new game, let alone in which sort of strange city it'll (surely?) be set, but it's official: BioShock is back, baby. Pretty pop-philosophy FPS series BioShock is to return, 2K announced today, with a new game coming from a new studio.
