2K Games today announced the founding of Cloud Chamber, the newest, wholly owned game development studio under the Company’s publishing label. According to the press release, Cloud Chamber has started to work on the next iteration of the globally acclaimed BioShock franchise. This new BioShock game will be in development for the next several years, and will target next-gen platforms.
David Ismailer, President of 2K, said:
“As we continue growing our product portfolio, we remain inspired by opportunities to invest further in our valuable IP, great people and their collective, long-term potential. BioShock is one of the most beloved, critically praised and highest-rated franchises of the last console generation. We can’t wait to see where its powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay head in the future with our new studio team at Cloud Chamber leading the charge.”
Kelley Gilmore, Global Studio Head, Cloud Chamber, added:
“We founded Cloud Chamber to create yet-to-be-discovered worlds – and their stories within – that push the boundaries of what is possible in the video game medium. Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity, in both the makeup of the studio and the nature of its thinking. We are a deeply experienced group of game makers, including many responsible for BioShock’s principal creation, advancement and longstanding notoriety, and honored to be part of the 2K family as stewards of this iconic franchise.”
2K Games has not revealed any additional details, however, we’ll be sure to keep you posted!

Hmmm..I love the series, lets hope they will stay true to the formula.
not interested in bioshock, sorry. they should focus on a mafia 3 expansion instead.
Nobody wants more of that train wreck
you say that but it surprisingly sold well and had plenty of dlcs.
speak for yourself, people in my country protest in streets demanding more of mafia 3.
hahahaaa
Is not even a good Mafia game nor a GTA clone one.
mafia 3 is the best one in the series followed by sonic on genesis.
LOL, the best Mafia in the series is the first one, you know it..in your heart.
nope, mafia 3 then sonic and then microsoft’s flight simulator are the best mafia games.
Just dont…
“Diversity… ” smh. Can’t wait for sjws to die out
Fingers crossed that it actually turns out better than Outer Worlds did. Sadly given todays attitudes and agendas I have little hope for a mature good story driven game.
at least that game was a rpg and was better than the competition, eg fallout 4, fallout 76, mass effect andromeda, anthem. This one will be as linear as biosht infinite.
Have you actually played it though? it’s full of the current agenda rubbish.
yes but its not preachy, still cringe though.
Yeah I couldn’t play anymore after the 2nd planet it just annoyed me too much, they ruined what could have been a decent game.
old obsidian is dead
When diversity is promoted from the get go, even before the announcement, you know something’s wrong…
You know what the focus is and it aint good gameplay.
This is ridiculous, no concept art, no screen, no teaser, not even a clue about what it will be, but… diversity !!! WTF ??! I thought paid lootboxes are the worst cancer VG industry ever had, i was wrong, at least you can ignore them, but you can’t avoid the typical blue short hair badass lesbien, and the typical brown soy submissive male…
Diversity is the new buzzword, kinda like “cinematic” but worse.
Bioshock 4: Biodiversity ?
Biowoke
unfortunately that’s true, minority group advocates and their public personas should start protesting against these politics since these forced politics in games and entertainments overall are hurting minorities more than benefiting them in any way.
Never liked this series.
And now that they have this huge agenda to follow, I dislike it even harder.
first one is really good, second one is ok for half of the game then turns shet, third one is just a shetty adventure game made for console peasants. give first one a try.
Second one is better because it doesn’t have that stupid minigame.
yeah but you’re running around with that stupid drill for half of the game without getting any weapon. feels repetitive and tedious.
As opposed to running around with a stupid wrench for half of the game? I prefer the drill.
no you have access to weapons from almost the beginning to the end.
I don’t remember not having acess to weapons in Bioshock 2.
they take away your weapons except for the drill for half of the game.
Didn’t leave a lasting impression as much as BS 1 atrocious minigame.
Nah, tried one time already and that’s more than enough.
But thanks anyway.
it wasn’t a suggestion, i wasn’t asking either, i said play it, i didn’t give you the option to refuse, now i will report you, say gg to your account noob cyka.
OMG!
I’m so sorry!
I’ll install and play it right now!
it wasn’t a suggestion, i wasn’t asking either, i said play it, i didn’t give you the option to refuse, now i will report you, say gg to your account idiot cyka noob.

nice, beautiful and elegant like the killer whales of arctic.
By happy coincidence I just viewed a wildlife documentary on orcas aka killer whales.
BioShock is very special game for me. If they f’ck this up i will hire voodoo and satanic people to do some black magic on them XD.
YES!

Ya, this thing can already go f*** itself. More “diversity” bulls**t. I’ve had more than enough already.
Honestly I enjoyed the first 2 games but Infinite was a mess in every possible way and I doubt the “diversity is our strength” dipsh*ts are going to make a good game.
Hmmm..I love the series, lets hope they will stay true to the formula.
“Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity”
Ok, no thanks, female protagonist confirmed possibly black.
I doubt that in a world that everything gets dumbed down they gonna make a nonlinear good game.
Linear is not bad at all it depends on how you do that.
???? shock games are meant to be nonlinear.
Bioshock was born as a linear FPS game, what are you talking about.
never played system shock have you?
I did, and it has nothing to do with bioshock as we know it today, besides being slightly inspired by it.
“slightly”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
IT HAS THE SAME PLOTWISTS, IT HAS THE SAME GAMEPLAY DESIGN…WTF DUDE?
You are stupid, i’m pretty confident about this at this point. How can you use something like plot twists to compare 2 games, plot twists are tied to the story, the story of the 2 game is nothing alike, even because bioshock is much more cinematographic and has pretty well crafted characters, the opposite of system shock that hasn’t got defined and charismatic characters, and it’s much more on the gameplay side of a game, like someone said, and no gameplay design is totally different, there is nothing that even remotely looks the same.
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL DUDE.
You start the game and some npc contacts you through radio and telling you what to do, you pick a wrench and then you get to the vending machines, you get the psi amp in system shock while in bioshock you get the electricity bolt, you see a ghost, you start destroying cameras and turrets. The first area in system shock 2 is med/sci, the first areas in bioshock is medical pavilion. Then you get the shotgun and go the engineering deck in system shock 2, while in bioshock you go to neptune’s bounty where the fisheries are and the environment looks like a engineering deck at the bottom of a ship with pipes everywhere, in system shock 2 there is a substance flooding the elevator and you cant move on without cleaning it by using the research skill to research the device you need to clean it, in bioshock the area is flooded and you are given a camera to take pictures of enemies which is how you research things in that game to do more damage to enemies just like in system shock 2 research increases the damage you do to each enemy whose bodypart you researched. You need to do that as a quest for a npc to progress. Dude its the same game, same cameras and alarm system, turrets, same 3 ammo types for each weapon, even the enemies look similar their faces have growths, you got your meele enemies and you got your grenade throwing enemies….the Houdini splicers are cyber assassins, they fight the same way. Then you find out the person you were following orders from is in fact the bad guy of the game and was using a fake identity of a dead person.
LOL DUDE.
Jesus christ you are very stupid seriously, what do you think you’ve accomplished writing this bs wall of text, trying to point out similarities in some parts of the game? What has it got to do to how much the game is similar? It has nothing to do with it completely, it’s just created from the same guy, both the games share some artist touches of the guy, but nothing more than that, there’s nothing that makes you remind of bioshock in system shocks besides those touches, similarities in names of genre of environments or some easter egg don’t make the game any similar. Bioshock is a game and System Shock is another game completely, despite the fact they’re created from the same guy, and share some stupid little things.
you didnt even read it. Similarities? Its a carbon copy you moron.
“What has it got to do to how much the game is similar? It has nothing to do with it completely,”
You are reeetarded.
“it’s just created from the same guy, ”
Nope, warren specter was in charge, if you want to see a game made by ken levine check out biosh1t infinite, now thats diffirent and ts also trash.
“there’s nothing that makes you remind of bioshock in system shocks besides those touches, ”
The entire structure of the game is the same but dumbed down, its a literal spiritual successor in the same way that all those kickstarted nostalgia games are spiritual successors of the old game they emulate.
Stop saying reeetarded sh*t.
“, similarities in names of genre of environments or some easter egg don’t make the game any similar. ”
I SAID STHAP, SEIZE YOUR FAAAGOTRYYY!!!
“Bioshock is a game and System Shock is another game completely”
BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
“despite the fact they’re created from the same guy, and share some stupid little things”
little things? Like you know, gameplay, weapon design, upgrade systems, alarm states, enemy designs, plot structure, dude at this point you are just playing dumb or you have the iq of a snail. Come on, have some mercy on my poor sides…. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Shut up r**ard you sound more stupid with each bs post you make, you know nothing of videogames and with this stupid argument you’ve confirmed it once again. Warren spector was the producer of Origin systems, and origin system was the publisher of the game, and spector as nearly nothing to do with System Shock 2, which was the most important of the saga, ken levine is behind system shock 2, and he’s also behind bioshock, and these 2 are nothing alike, besides one might have inspired the other there is nothing evident to affirm it’s a spiritual successor or a dumbed down version, you could compare deus ex to system shock if you wanted to make a decent enough comparison, but bioshock has nothing even remotely similar in pretty much anything.
Bioshock is what Systemshock would be made on console.
Not at all it’s a totally different game
He is a troll, plain and simple. That is why he talks so much nonsense.
Prey isn’t a linear videogame, was never meant to be linear, bioshock is a good linear saga no doubt, besides Prey has a serious problem with audio mixing it’s absolutely terrible in that manner, and f*cks up people runs like it happened with me
That prey isn’t that good of a game, that’s what it has got to do, Bioshock series is honestly much better, at least up until now, and the reason of that is art, music and story, all of which new Prey kinda lacks, and in addition to that it also has pretty serious technical defects which can’t be fixed. A good linear game has to be linear, nothing else, the fact that Prey is less linear just makes it a worse linear game than bioshock.
bioshock series? You mean the dumb down system shock with objectivism bashing and a sequel that skipped all that for shooting bulletspongy enemies while your big daddy suit is nerfed and whatever the fck the inconsisent nonsencial linear repettive mess that biosht infinite was.
Dumb down, maybe you mean dumbed down, besides, as i said already, it has nothing to do with system shock, it’s a completely different game with completely different characteristics, and it was never meant to be a sequel or a spiritual successor of system shock, bioshock has quality the others don’t have and viceversa, i personally prefer the first over the others, and infinite over the second which still remains a great game. Whoever says bioshock saga is sh*t should really consider doing something else with their life
Learn writing some correct english and some culture about videogames and then we’ll talk again.
prey was originally gonna be system shock 3.
Oh no, the horror. How will the poor white gamur deal with this?
Better notify me about any school near your vicinity.
Mate the miss universe looks like that black woman with big eyes in the new star wars game. She is objectively ugly. She said “women with my skin color and my hair were not considered pretty but now that ends”
At what point does this overpolitization of everything ends? I am sick and tired of it, do you really think that people will change and will like objectively bad things if you push them hard enough?
After 3 years he still needs a losing hug…

“I am sick and tired of it, do you really think that people will change and will like objectively bad things if you push them hard enough?”
At this point it’s more about humiliation than changing minds, if you elect Trump or Brexit, you will get more insane diversity and there is nothing your vote can do to change that.
At what point does this overpolitization of everything end
+1
he’s not white he’s a brain washed indian who has identity issues.
You can’t help yourself.
sounds like you don’t know him that well, he’s from india but like most other indians he thinks he’s part of the white pride for some reason. he’s more rytarded than you.
more […] than you
He’s punching above your weight class.
Don’t feel baaaad, goat, you can’t help yourself.
I had to give you the first dislike of my life because what you said is shameless.
If anyone knows shameless, it’s you.
and now i’ve reported you to the pakistani authorities, say goodbye to your account and normal life and freedom you brown shet.
Isnt he a ChristFag based on his userpic?
that’s him.
Someone’s having a baaaad day, eh, goat?
“Oh no, the horror. How will the poor white gamur deal with this?”
Same way they dealt with the Dishonored 2 DLC death of the outsider.
Don’t be such a vile coward.
+ Big rumours (job offer) say that game will be a “live service”
I mean 2K is the publisher after all 😉
even worse
indeed or a typical indian woman who looks like jabba.
obviously i’m not being racist to your people durka but i just wanted to state some facts.
(for those don’t know what i’m talking about, durka is indian but thinks he’s same as “whites” because he’s not a muslim)
ahhahaha by far my favorite troll.
They want to replicate the sucess of Dishonored expansion.
female protagonist confirmed possibly black
Nothing necessarily wrong with that.

if you dont take yourself seriously or push for wokeness, yeah aveline in ac liberation was pretty good too. But lets be honest the sjws have an archetype on how to make non white characters.
at least if you want to make one make sure we can change big daddy’s costume, i always wanted a pink one.
now that i think about it, microtransactions would be fantastic in this game, imagine the possibility of being able to customize every look in the game just by paying a few bucks, fantastique monsieur.
what platform?
Oh f*k this diversity bulls**t, how many more games, movies and tv-shows has to fail in order to get across to these a**holes that nobody really wants forced diversity in entertainment? It’s like getting a deathsentence on the things it’s attached to.
Jesus christ another freakfest, shove it up your a** 2k, since you like stuff in there this much.
The BioShock series was, is, and will always remain a timeless masterpiece.
Here’s hope they don’t screw it up like Mafia 3.
Just a reminder to keep your thirst occupied for a new BioShock:
Former developers of Irrational Games recently released Void Bastards, a great game with high replay value that is my personal indie of the year 2019.
“Void Bastards, a great game”
nope. Crappy roguelike that if you play on easy you can finish it in one go, doesnt have enough stuff to justify multiple playthroughs.
you should open up a store and name it literally sucking dik 24/7 and then 5 days out of a week offer to suck black diks exclusively, that way you’ll be rich in a short period of time because it seems to be the only thing you like to do.
They already did with Infinite.
Mafia 3 was done by Hangar 13
Irrational Games is gone, Ken Levine is no longer in that team he works for Ghost Story Games.
Void Bastards it’s made by Blue Manchu Games few of the devs worked on Bioshock, but Blue Manchu Games has nothing to do with new Bioshock 4
OG Bioshock and specially the DLC for 2 Minerva’s Den is top tier Bioshock experience both gameplay and narrative.
What the f uck are you talking about!? Said the idiot with a Nier Autofarta picture.
It has nothing to do with system shock, it’s only inspired by that, it was never meant to be a successor of system shock, and you can tell just by looking at both the videogames themselves.
Honestly, i recently finished System Shock 2 and didn’t find it much better than Bioshock(ok, the minigame is better). I prefer Deus Ex and Bloodlines.
I think the difference boils down to the stats and how you should build the character in SS2, and the levels are bigger i guess.
Void bastards gets old super fast. Cute graphics i guess.
There’s a mod which replaces the 2K logos in Bioshock Remastered with Irrational Games logos. So cool!
nexusmods(dot)com/bioshock/mods/7
WHat a useless mod, a mod that replaced the minigame would be better.
Let’s see if they put as much effort into this as they did with the so-called “Remastered” editions of Bioshock and Bioshock 2!
“Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity, in both the makeup of the studio and the nature of its thinking”
Stunning and brave.
When a dev is first and foremost concerned with virtue signalling so to get digital back-pats on SJW Twitter and benevolent treatment from Far Left activists masquerading as journalists at Polygon and the failing Kotaku then you know the publisher royally f*cked up in choosing that dev to make their game. smh
Stunning and brave.
I think this all started with assassin’s creed. They used to (or still do?) saying something like that at the start of all their games. But I think that is because the game dealt with religion sometimes. And they just wanted to say “ITS JUST A GAME, chill out”. But instead, people have taken that whole “we are a diverse group” to now mean : “We are a diverse group, oh yeah… I guess we made a game”
This is utterly ridiculous. Why should anyone give a flying fuq about their personal ideologies? They are selling just an entertainment product.
“They are selling just an entertainment product.”
Exactly, and to sell a product, they need to be upfront about their values. It’s how things works nowadays, and frankly, good for them, if you still want to buy their diversity ridden game, go for it, you have been warned.
The studio is based in San Francisco so it’s not a surprise that they would virtue-signal before even talking about the game.
It’s better than the old ways of sneaking subversion in media. We have been warned upfront, if we buy this game, it’s on us.
“they are based in san-fran”
How crushingly predictable! Imagine my shock. ?
games as live service
Bioshock 1/Infinite sell a ton of copies on last-gen.
Let’s not release a Bioshock title for the entirety of this console gen.
…
Yeah it’s dead on arrival.
Just let the franchise rest in peace. There’s no need to bring it back if it’s handled by a group of people who care more about their appearances than the Bioshock franchise. The same thing happened to the Mafia series.
“Our team believes in the beauty and strength of diversity”
Diversity has never been a strength, only the diversity of ideas. Plus we all know that diversity is just the codeword for less white men so f*k you.
