BioShock 4 will be set within a '60s city in Antarctica, according to a new report.

The new BioShock game, which is being developed by studio Cloud Chamber under 2K Games, will apparently have connections to previous BioShock titles, and will be set in the fictional south pole city of Borealis, according to a report from the Sacred Symbols podcast.

The report has been corroborated by VGC, with the information on an Antarctic setting matching what its sources have said, with the game targeting a 2022 release.

A fourth BioShock game was originally in development at developer Certain Affinity for around five years, apparently, before being binned, with development restarting at Cloud Chamber. Job postings at the studio have hinted towards an open world setting, as well as RPG systems and and an “emergent sandbox world”.

Could we see BioShock 4 revealed at The Game Awards later this week? We'll certainly be keeping an eye just in case.

BioShock is probably one of my favorite games of all time, but open world just flies in the face of a tight knit story driven experience that the first three games provided. It can be done (God of War 2018) but it's rare.

Also troubling(?)... what happened to Ken Levine and Irrational Games?

Nice. I’d bet a 2022 release date isn’t happening though.

Most anticipated game. I know nothing about it, and it might be years away. But this and Mass Effect 4 are all I care about.

Great series. Finished all 3. 1 or 2 best but Infinite was first I played and loved it. More open in space and outside rather than submerged. But 1&2 are so so good and I’m surprised I beat them all. Can’t wait for this. Brilliant series!

Fucking sweet

Would you kindly allow me to share some news?

Some of you guessed it, I’m returning to 2K to lead a series that means a lot to me as the new Head of the BioShock Franchise. I’ll be heading up Cloud Chamber and overseeing development of the next BioShock game, along with franchise extensions like the in-development Netflix movie.

While I’m excited to get started in the coming weeks, I recognize the studio restructuring is a difficult time for the team. I’m deeply grateful for the work done so far, and I’m committed to building a BioShock game we’ll be proud of and that our players will love.

For now, the firehose of onboarding awaits, and I look forward to sharing more when I can.

I mean they’re talking about making a game they were talking about making four years ago. Yay.

Nowadays…I’ll believe when I boot it up.

Can't wait! Is it 2022 yet?!?
