More evidence has surfaced that hint to a new BioShock game. Secret 2K studio in Novato is working on it.
The rumor that a secret studio of 2K Games is working on a new BioShock part has been going around for some time. Take-Two reported a while ago during a financial presentation that 2K Games is working on a ‘long-awaited’ new game. The new BioShock is code-named ‘Parkside’.
A similar statement was made last week by Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, during a presentation of the quarterly figures. According to the CEO, the publisher currently has “the strongest development pipeline in history” and that fans can “continue to expect the biggest franchises.”
In the same week as this statement, a vacancy appeared on the 2K website. The studio is looking for an End Game developer who can start immediately in Novato, California. This is the same studio that is reportedly working on the next BioShock part, as can be read above.
An End Game developer deals with content that can be played after a game has finished. So if it is indeed about BioShock, then chances are that the game is already well underway.
A fanatical Redittor has set up a page listing a list of respected developers currently working in Novato. Many of these developers have worked on BioShock games earlier in their career.
There are a lot of clues that hint at a new BioShock, but as yet nothing is officially known. Nevertheless, it looks bright for BioShock fans.
