The fact is that the new BioShock has been in development for several years. However, Take-Two Interactive did not consider the project sufficiently advanced to be officially revealed. It is therefore necessary to use different sources to get the first details about it. For once, these are job vacancies that seem to give some clues about this new episode.

The clues of the day to the one we have named at the moment BioShock 4 were recently used by a tweeter on behalf of “MauroNL“The latter actually posted several job postings from Cloud Chamber Games, the studio currently working on developing the next BioShock. And these contain everything that appears to be misleading references to the game.
One of them, in fact, points to the game that is currently being developed at Cloud Chamber Gamesthis is about a “ambitious, story-driven project full of character and personality. “ It also shows that The title becomes a “Dialog (s) (management) system, “ which suggests that players can choose what their character says (with consequences for the unfolding of the plot?).
Another ad asks potential applicants to be experienced in RPG development. In these announcements, the game is also referred to as “aspiring sandpit world. “ This element suggests that BioShock 4 will be an open world game. The impression is reinforced by an advertisement explaining this The successful candidate is responsible for creating “of systems connected to an interactive world, of a systemic ecology that is not based on artificial intelligence, of systems of growth and advancement of the player and the balance of game and economy
exceed limits
These announcements also focus on Artificial Intelligence work in the game. Indeed, the studio declares an attempt tosignificant urban crowd system powered by artificial intelligence as well as the systematic tribal ecology of a sometimes hostile artificial intelligence. “ If this type of phrase seems complicated, Cloud Chamber Games does not hide the scope of its ambitions:
We believe that we are trying to do new and ambitious things in artificial intelligence and have important ambitions when it comes to combining artificial intelligence and storytelling. These various elements therefore reveal a leading project that is a priori far removed from the simple suite created with no ideas for the simple purpose of using the BioShock license. Even so, it’s way too early and there isn’t enough information to give a strong opinion on the game.
For your information, these vacancies cover a variety of positions such as an artificial intelligence programmer, senior language designer, or senior systems designer. A new BioShock game has been in the plans of Take-Two Interactive and thus of 2K for almost five years. However, development of the game itself would have started in 2018.
The release of the last BioShock, BioShock Infinite, not to mention it, dates back to 2013. At the time of this writing, we don’t know when 2K will reveal this new episode or when it will be released. However, job postings published by Cloud Chamber Games suggest that BioShock 4 will not be published.
What do you think of these different elements? Confident that this studio can create a worthy BioShock? Are you excited for 2K to officially reveal it? Tell us everything in the comments below.
