"Discloses 11-year silence, BioShock Infinite's mastermind discusses Judas, delving into themes of treachery"
In the realm of video game development, anticipation continues to build for two highly-awaited titles: Judas, the upcoming game from Ghost Story Games, and the next instalment in the BioShock series.
Ken Levine, the mastermind behind BioShock Infinite and founder of Ghost Story Games under Take-Two Interactive, has indicated that the team is making steady progress towards the day when players can finally get their hands on Judas. However, an exact release date for Judas remains elusive, with Levine citing the desire to avoid any potential changes after announcement as the reason for the delay.
As for the next BioShock game, it's still in development, with Rod Fergusson, an industry veteran and former head of Diablo at Blizzard Entertainment, now leading the charge as the new studio head. Fergusson is not only overseeing the development of BioShock 4, but also other franchise projects such as the upcoming Netflix film adaptation.
Judas, originally slated to launch in 2017, has faced multiple delays due to employee departures and management issues. However, as of August 2025, it appears to be nearing completion, with a confirmed platform release on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (Epic Games Store and Steam), and PlayStation 5.
Unfortunately, BioShock, developed by Cloud Chamber, is still facing development issues, with the studio recently undergoing layoffs. Despite these challenges, the team continues to work diligently to bring the next instalment of the BioShock series to life.
In the meantime, fans of the BioShock franchise can look forward to the leadership of Rod Fergusson, whose expertise and passion for the industry are sure to guide the development of BioShock 4 and other projects towards success. As for Judas, while the release date remains uncertain, the promise of a new adventure from the mind of Ken Levine continues to captivate and excite fans worldwide.
