Announced in 2019, already 5 years ago, BioShock 4 is a project that has been long awaited. Inevitably, the series has been put aside for 11 years, not only because BioShock Infinite has not sold well, but also because its creator, Ken Levine, has left to sail towards new horizons. While it is rumored that BioShock 4 is already on its fourth reboot, we learn that the project continues and that on the developers’ side, they are looking to “staff up”. In a message posted on LinkedIn, Jeff Spoonhower, who is Senior Cinematic Designer at the Cloud Chamber studio, share a job offer with no less than thirty positions to fill, both in their premises based in Novato, in the United States and in Montreal, Quebec. The studio is hiring programmers as well as artists specialized in the creation of 3D models, or lighting management, level designers, people specialized in narration and combat systems. Key positions that prove that development is far from finished.
So we’ll have to be patient and all this leaves a whole boulevard to Ken Levine and his game JUDAS, which takes up the DNA of BioShock, since he is the creator himself. The latter will take up all the ingredients that made the success of the BioShock license, with a convoluted scenario, a 50s atmosphere, ambidextrous gameplay, and powers to be injected intravenously, all with the help of AI and its procedurally generated elements. Judas does not yet have a release date either.
