Summary

  • Sources have told Bloomberg that the new Bioshock game, announced in 2019, has faced development issues.
  • Cloud Chamber Games failed an internal progress review, especially in terms of narrative.
  • As a result, studio head Kelley Gilmour and creative director Hogarth de la Plante have had their roles changed.
  • Staff have also been told to become more agile, which Bloomberg’s sources suggest could mean layoffs are coming.
  • 2K Games hasn’t confirmed these details, simply saying it’s working with the studio on defining a path for a good game to become a great one.
  • Very little is known about the new Bioshock, other than it is not being developed by the original series creator Ken Levine, who is working on Judas at Ghost Story Games.
  • Bloomberg also claims 2K Games scrapped a Bioshock 1 remake earlier this year.
