Ken Levine and the folk behind BioShock have revealed the name of their new studio: Ghost Story. Essentially, this is BioShock developer Irrational Games rebranded, and although the team has been hanging around since Irrational shut down in 2014, it's only just decided to formally introduce itself.
Well, when we say 'hanging around', we mean that the developer has been working on something for the past couple of years. According to the outfit's official press release, a "new immersive sci-fi game with RPG elements" is the focus, but at this point, the project is still in the "early stages of production". It's also stressed that Ghost Story is "not working on a BioShock game", so don't ask, okay?
That said, the developer does state that "we believe our new games will have strong appeal to fans of BioShock", so we wouldn't expect a drastic departure from the team's previous efforts.
Are you looking forward to seeing what Ken and the gang have in store? Whisper around a campfire in the comments section below.

Great! Can't wait to hear about their next game!
Bioshock was one of my favorite games from the last gen. I'm hoping Ken Levine's next go at a game will be just as good.
Sounds awesome already
There was quite a complex story of what happened at the end of Infinite but basically, almost everyone was unceremoniously sacked after Infinite's DLC was completed (if memory serves). I will always be interested in anything Ken Levine does and I don't think we need another Bioshock title after three - something new but with the same committment to world building, philosophy and story will be just fine with me.
"Levine la vida loca" 😂
Would you kindly... let me know when we get a reveal?
Sci-Fi. RPG. I like those words together.
So System Shock 3 with a new IP veneer? I'll take it!
