Ken Levine‘s remaining team isn’t disappearing just yet, though.
In 2014, the news about the Bioshock-developer Irrational Games wasn’t positive, as they had to tone down their team size. Since then, we haven’t heard a lot from Levine’s group, but now it’s official: they have renamed themselves to Ghost Story Games, and they also have a new website.
„Our mission is simple: to create immersive, story-driven games for people who love games that ask something of them. While we believe our new games will have strong appeal to fans of BioShock, our new focus allows us to craft experiences where the gameplay is as challenging as the stories,” their mission statement reads.
The founding group of twelve people is all from Irrational, including Shawn Robertson (art director), Don Roy (executive producer), and Ken Levine himself. Ghost Story Games has twenty-five employees at the moment.
We don’t know yet what the Boston-based team is doing, but they are hiring right now – let’s hope that the reformed team will be able to create memorable games and experiences.
