New information has been revealed regarding BioShock creator Ken Levine's next game, Judas.
Levine's studio, Ghost Story Games, has been working with IGN and jeff keleyplayed the game for 5-6 hours, and both shared their impressions of playing.
IGN's report calls the game “a first-person, narrative-driven shooter that will be familiar to BioShock fans from a moment-to-moment gameplay perspective.”
The main character is the titular Judas, a woman who was once dead but has now been “reincarnated” aboard a “city-sized spaceship” called the Mayflower. This ship is transporting the last remnants of humanity from Earth to a new planet called Promia Centauri.
Judas interacts with the three leaders of the ship (Tom, Nefertiti, and Hope), and the player must decide who to help. Because what pleases one leader may upset another. This structure is what Levine calls “narrative Legos.”
Keighley posted his first impressions on the X video, saying that the game still feels like a BioShock game to some extent. “Everything you'd expect from a BioShock game is there,” he says. “There's hand power, hacking, incredibly cinematic moments, great characters, and a rich story.
“But there's something more going on behind the scenes that's very difficult to explain or showcase in a trailer.”
Keighley also said that the game is “by no means finished,” suggesting it may still be some time before release.
In October 2020, it was reported that Levine's next film was in the “late stages” of production.
Ghost Story Games' job posting for “an immersive sci-fi game with RPG elements” at the time said the title was created by a team of less than 35 people and operated under a flat structure. It had been. Every opinion matters. ”
Levine shut down Irrational Games, the studio behind BioShock and its sequel Infinite, in 2014 and founded a smaller studio that eventually became Ghost Story Games.
At the time, he said the Take-Two-owned company (which initially consisted of a staff of 15) would focus on “story-driven” digital games that were “highly replayable.”
