We’ve identified for a while now that one other BioShock is in growth at 2K’s new California-based studio Cloud Chamber, however precise particulars have been onerous to return by. Job adverts have hinted we could also be getting extra of an “emergent sandbox world” and RPG-like development programs this time round, however past that, we’ve been left to invest.
Effectively, due to sometimes-leaker Colin Moriarty’s latest Sacred Symbols podcast, we could have some extra particulars in regards to the new BioShock’s world. Apparently, the sport can be a return to the acquainted Sixties period of the unique BioShock video games and can happen in a brand new Antarctic metropolis referred to as Borealis. According to the reliable Video Games Chronicle, who supplied the next transcription, this data jives with what they’ve heard from their very own sources…
It takes place in a Sixties Antarctic metropolis referred to as Borealis. [The game is] codenamed ‘Parkside’… I’ve been informed that the event crew has unbelievable latitude to get it proper. That appears and sounds proper to me. Internally the sport may be very secret and apparently, completely locked up. Apparently the inclination there’s that they perceive full nicely that this sport can be in comparison with what [BioShock creator] Ken Levine does. And by the way in which, [Take-Two/2K] can also be publishing Levine’s subsequent sport.
Take this with a grain of salt after all, however this all sounds believable sufficient. This leak comes amid elevated BioShock-related chatter, as a teaser website theresalwaysalighthouse.com that includes what seems to be a shining beacon amongst a background of stars surfaced. That mentioned, it appears the web site has truly been round for some time, so it doesn’t essentially point out any forthcoming BioShock information (though maintain your fingers crossed for one thing at The Recreation Awards).
What do you assume? Is the attainable setting of the brand new BioShock a promising one? Type of feels like Cloud Chamber goes again to fundamentals (the 60s, one other metropolis in an inhospitable location) after BioShock Infinite modified issues up a bit, which isn’t essentially a foul factor.
