Bioshock’s developers are closing their doors!

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.

Anikó, our news editor and communication manager, is more interested in the business side of the gaming industry. She worked at banks, and she has a vast knowledge of business life. Still, she likes puzzle and story-oriented games, like Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, which is her favourite title. She also played The Sims 3, but after accidentally killing a whole sim family, swore not to play it again. (For our office address, email and phone number check out our IMPRESSUM)
