BioShock creator Ken Levine’s latest game is Judas

The next game from BioShock creator Ken Levine has been announced.

Judas is “a single player, narrative first person shooter”, according to a statement by Levine’s studio Ghost Story Games.

The game will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam and the Epic Games Store.

“A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan,” the game’s synopsis reads.

“You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies.

“Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?”

It was reported back in October 2020 that Levine’s next game was entering the “later stages” of production.

A job listing for Ghost Story Games’ then-announced “immersive sci-fi game with RPG elements” claimed that the title was being created by a team of less than 35 people, which was said to be operating under a flat structure so that “every opinion counts.”

Previous efforts to make a film adaptation reportedly failed over budgetary and rating concerns

Levine closed Irrational Games – the studio behind BioShock and its sequel Infinite – in 2014 to form a smaller studio which eventually became Ghost Story Games.

At the time, he said the Take-Two owned company – initially made up of 15 staff – would be dedicated to “narrative-driven” digital games that were “highly replayable”.
