Ken Levine'in BioShock 4 oyunu Judas'ın çıkış tarihi 2028-2029'a ertelendi.

Details from Take-Two Interactive's latest financial report emerged late last week. While GTA 6 fans were desperately hoping for any new information on the upcoming Rockstar Games title, the report instead shed light on several intriguing details regarding other projects.

In particular, the financial report revealed that by 2029, the company plans to release not only the previously confirmed Max Payne 1&2 remake, currently in development by Remedy, but also several other remakes, remasters, and enhanced versions. Beyond full-game releases, there are also plans to launch DLC for unannounced titles. Moreover, Take-Two admitted that the company may acquire even more game studios in the future; this is made possible by the approximately 8 billion dollars in revenue that Take-Two expects to generate in the coming fiscal year, driven by GTA 6.

Nevertheless, there was some unpleasant news: the delay of Judas, the game from BioShock creator Ken Levine. The game was announced back in 2022, but it still lacks a release date. According to new information, it is scheduled for release in the 2028-2029 fiscal year —the period between April 1, 2028, and March 31, 2029.

Ken Levine recently spoke with IGN about why the development of Judas has been such a lengthy process. He explained that, throughout the project's development, the team has experimented with various conceptual approaches. Central to the game is the 'Narrative Legos' mechanic, where player choices shape character relationships and NPCs influence the story. The studio is dedicated to ensuring these complex systems are both engaging and seamless, which has required more development time than initially anticipated.

Levine is firstly known as one of BioShock franchise developers, as he was the creative director, scriptwriter, and visionary author of BioShock and BioShock Infinite. Judas bears a strong resemblance to the Irrational Games series, both in its genre and its unconventional setting—it has even been dubbed a spiritual successor to BioShock. However, Levine himself previously stated that Judas is "more reflective of player agency," where every decision carries genuine weight.

As for BioShock game series, the fourth installment is still in development at Cloud Chamber, and it was recently revealed that the studio is looking for an ‘AI Engineer’ as the game is looking to offer as realistic an experience as possible, in terms of artificial intelligence, with enemies adapting to the gamer’s playstyle. It’s also rumored to feature RPG elements, including choices that will influence the story, a realistic physics system, and environmental changes.
