2K Games has just announced that work on a new Bioshock title has begun at a new internal studio. The new studio will be dubbed Cloud Chamber and is made up of former Bioshock vets including Hoagy de la Plante (creative director on BioShock 1 and 2), and Scott Sinclair (art director on BioShock 1 and Infinite) as revealed by IGN. The new studio will be headed by Kelley Gilmore who used to work at Firaxis Games.
“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.”
“A collective of storytellers eager to push the frontlines of interactive entertainment by making unique, entertaining and thoughtful experiences that engage the world, Cloud Chamber will build its team at two locations: 2K’s San Francisco Bay Area headquarters in Novato, Calif., as well as in Montréal, Québec, which marks the first-ever Canadian office for a 2K studio.”
The new Bioshock title is a few years out from release so don’t expect to see anything concrete in regards to info about the game. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am excited to see what comes next for the Bioshock franchise! Hard to believe it has already been 6 years since Infinite released. What do you all hope to see out of this new entry?
