The new part of BioShock from Cloud Chamber studio got into "production hell".
The problematic development of the game was reported by an insider Oops Leaks, who had previously leaked possible details of the game and its location.
According to Oops Leaks, in the summer of 2022, the project was rebooted for the fourth time, and constant changes in the composition of developers and concepts "do not promise anything good for the future of the series."
The setting will probably remain the same, but at the moment the game is being "radically rewritten".
The "extremely disorganized" development structure is also to blame for the troubles with the game, complicated by the pandemic and the Bill 96 law adopted in Quebec, which obliges companies to operate only in French.
The studio has a very high turnover of personnel, a lot of contract workers, whose tasks are then redone by less qualified specialists, and a significant number of full-time employees do not have any significant experience.
The narration team faced the greatest difficulties, because over all these years it "could not write a script worthy of a well-known franchise." This has become one of the key factors of the reboot.
"Poor management, uncertainty about financial success and questionable management decisions are the reasons why the development of this game is so difficult and takes so much time.
The absence of any significant updates or announcements only creates even more confusion about the future of the game."
Oops Leaks added that if the fourth BioShock is not announced this summer, then most likely it has faced a "complete collapse" and it has no chance of being released in the 2025 fiscal year, as originally planned.
2K Games officially announced the development of the next game in the BioShock franchise back in 2019, warning immediately that it would be in production for at least "a few more years."
