For well over 10 years, fans have been eagerly awaiting the official announcement for a new Bioshock game. Since the release of Infinite in 2013, countless leaks and rumours have popped up pertaining to a potential Bioshock 4 – from the engine it’ll use to in-game screenshots and more. With patience waning, it seems 2K is finally gearing up to make an official announcement soon.
As reported by mp1st (who previously leaked the alleged screenshots of the next Bioshock), 2K is said to be “preparing an announcement related to the BioShock franchise” sometime “fairly soon, most likely before the end of summer.”
Exact details on what this project will be is currently unknown, with the publication speculating that it could be the next mainline game, news on the previously-announced Netflix project, or perhaps even “a remake or a proper remaster of the original BioShock.”
According to mp1st, the upcoming announcement is likely connected to the city of Rapture in some way, seemingly indicating that this could be related to the aforementioned remaster/remake of the first game.
Of course, as with all leaks and rumours, these should be taken with a pinch of salt. We’ve been hearing for years now that a new Bioshock is nearing an announcement, with reports as far back as 2022 suggesting an impending reveal.
Bioshocks 1 and 2 in particular are excellently tense and unique horror/thriller experiences, and so hopefully whatever 2K is working on right now manages to capture that feeling. We (hopefully) won’t have to wait long to find out.
