Publisher 2K Games has announced that
BioShock is coming back!
The popular, dystopian first-person shooter franchise has been dormant since
BioShock Infinite released back in 2013. 2K Games has opened up a new internal studio by the name of Cloud Chamber to develop
"another unforgettable BioShock experience."
However, don't expect it to be officially revealed anytime soon. In a press release (via
Take Two Interactive), 2K Games cautioned that the new
BioShock title will be
"in development for the next several years." This means that the game is almost certainly in development for next-generation consoles.
Details beyond that are sparing. It's unclear whether the game will be a direct follow-up to the previous instalments. Industry veteran Kelley Gilmore is at the helm of the new
BioShock game and many developers who worked on the previous
BioShock games are involved, as well.
