![]() It is likely that it will focus on the events of the first game and take viewers on a journey through Rapture, and how citizens are encouraged to biologically modify their own bodies in order to survive. The first BioShock video game was released in 2007 and introduced players to a fictional, underwater city called Rapture, where they uncovered the dark secrets about how a city intended to be a safe haven became a hellish environment, constantly stalked by suited giants called Big Daddies.Ī Big Daddy as seen in the BioShock games. We already have our take, outline, and all that kind of stuff, so that's all done. However, according to an interview with Collider, they already know how it's going to go down.ĭirector Francis Lawrence said: "Well, Michael Green, who wrote Blade Runner 2049, among other things, and who's been a friend of mine for years, he's writing it, and he's in the middle of writing it right now. A lot of it is staying really true to the game itself, and we're talking to Take-Two and Ken Levine." What is the plot?īlade Runner 2049 writer Michael Green is writing the script, but right now we don't have exact plot details for the new adaptation. He said: "Me and Cameron who works with me, and Michael are getting to do what we want to do, which is great. I Am Legend and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay director Francis Lawrence is at the helm of the BioShock movie and recently told Collider that he wants to keep the adaptation as close to the video games as possible. Perhaps we'll hear more in 2022.Francis Lawrence will bring BioShock to life on screen. ![]() We didn't hear any mention of BioShock 4 during the various digital showcases of 20. ![]() Given how tight-lipped 2K and Cloud Chamber have been so far, it could be a while before we hear more about the next BioShock. In an interview with Collider, Lawrence called BioShock "one of the best games ever created"-hopefully, that enthusiasm will translate into movie quality. Since screen adaptations of games have advanced to being kind of alright now and then, an exec at Netflix must have shrugged and said "yeah, alright" to the wild-eyed fans who've been demanding a BioShock movie since the first game's release in 2007.ĭirector Francis Lawrence, at the diving-helm of the project after having worked on the upcoming Slumberland for Netflix and other projects like the Hunger Games, has confirmed that the movie is currently being written by Michael Green, writer for Blade Runner 2049. While we wait with not-at-all-frenzied patience for BioShock 4 news, we might get something to watch along the way, at least. The phrase "yet-to-be-discovered worlds" does suggest that BioShock 4 will be headed somewhere entirely new rather than back to Rapture. "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," says Cloud Chamber's global studio head Kelley Gilmore. We can at least rest easy knowing that where and whenever BioShock 4's story takes place, the story itself will be an important part of the experience. Oh, and Cloud Chamber's website has a lighthouse centered pretty prominently near the top of the page, which reads like a clue to us. Given the infinite lighthouses leading to alternate worlds in Infinite's Sea of Doors, perhaps we'll end up visiting another reality entirely. We'd speculate that BioShock 4 might distance itself from Infinite a bit by exploring new characters and new locations. ![]() It seems unlikely that BioShock 4 will be a direct sequel to Infinite. Do we know anything about BioShock 4's story?īioShock Infinite's final DLC, Burial at Sea, wrapped up some loose ends, which makes it a bit hard to speculate on what the next game will be like. Although Cloud Chamber's existence was only announced in 2019, it sounds like the team has been quietly working on BioShock 4 for some time. The current version of BioShock 4 has been in development, Kotaku says, since 2017.įortunately, that's plenty of time for the studio to have gotten a head start on the new game. That version of BioShock 4 was cancelled sometime in 2016. Apparently it was originally in development at Certain Affinity under the codename Parkside in 2015. How long has BioShock 4 been in development?Īccording to a Kotaku report, this isn't the first iteration of BioShock 4. When announcing that BioShock 4 is in the works, 2K said it can't wait to see where the new studio Cloud Chamber takes its "powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay" in the future.īioShock may be in new hands, which does inevitably mean some change, but it sounds like Cloud Chamber will be marching along with a focus on what made the previous games popular. ![]()
