Ken Levine

Developer Ghost Story Games has revealed more details about its upcoming title Judas through a video with IGN. The video showcases what appear to be the opening minutes of the game, and provides a glimpse of gameplay as well as some hints about the title’s story. Check it out below.

GTA 6 publishers Take-Two Interactive have announced that they're "rationalizing" their "pipeline" and positioning/restructuring/streamlining for growth by, you guessed it, laying off a load of people and cancelling a bunch of games. As detailed in a Security Exchange Commission filing, Take-Two are doing away with five per cent of the approximately 11,000 people who work for them, and have cancelled several in-development projects worth tens of millions of dollars.

Almost all video games are painstakingly made by human hands, but Harold Halibut takes that idea so literally that you can almost spot the fingerprints of its creators on screen. This colourful, story-driven adventure features meticulously hand-sculpted characters that have been seated in detailed miniature sets, digitally scanned, and brilliantly brought to life in a 12-hour interactive stop-motion movie that we get to star in. Yet, like the oceanic alien world in which it takes place, Harold Halibut is deeper than it first appears. I came for the unconventional art style, but I stayed for the cast of quirky characters and a playful mystery to unravel that features plenty of warmth and humour beneath its striking stop-motion surface.

At long last, the curtains have been drawn back on Judas, the first game from BioShock creator Ken Levine's outfit, Ghost Story Games. Courtesy of IGN, we've got our best look yet at the game, how its intriguing «narrative LEGOs» design philosophy works in play, and, of course, a familiar, chaotic form of powered combat we've been missing desperately. Bringing Geoff Keighley along for the ride, IGN sat down for a massive interview with Levine, which is where the fount of information sprang from.

The Game Awards host and industry hype man, Geoff Keighley, is teasing a Judas-related info drop for tomorrow, 27th March, conveniently enough, the 11th anniversary of BioShock Infinite's launch. Keighley sat down alongside IGN executive editor <a href=«https://twitter.com/DMC_Ryan/status/1772292362347348023?ref_src=» https:>Ryan McCaffrey

After his work on the legendary BioShock series, Ken Levine began Ghost Story Games, a rebranding of Irrational Games under Take-Two Interactive. Following years of silence from the studio, things changed during the 2022 Game Awards, when Levine announced Judas, a narrative single-player first-person shooter in space.

If you haven’t seen my 75-minute interview with BioShock creator Ken Levine detailing the journey he’s been on for the past decade in building something entirely new with Judas, check that out below. But if you just want to see the new gameplay footage that developer Ghost Story Games gave us to accompany that interview, I’ve got you covered right here. Check the video above.

Following up yesterday’s news on Ghost Ship Games’ upcoming Judas, courtesy of the Ian Games Network, another interview with the Friends Per Second podcast, via SkillUp on YouTube, has shed light aplenty on the upcoming Bioshock-ian FPS game. The hosts played the game for 5 hours at Ghost Ship Games in Boston, then interviewed director Ken Levine. Here’s a crunchy chipstick of a take to kick things off with; Judas is, says Ralph of SkillUp, “Definitely not Bioshock in space”. I...haven't played it, have I, so I'll put my cynicism in its horrible little cage for a bit. Aesthetically, at least, Judas does look to have a lot going for it.

Judas, the new game from Bioshock creator Ken Levine and Ghost Story Games, will be a single-player FPS and feature a «pseudo-procedural» narrative.

Creative director Ken Levine has shared that his upcoming game Judas will incorporate roguelike gameplay elements. The BioShock creator elaborated on the intriguing features set to be included in Judas, such as the utilization of «organic powers» and the implementation of non-linear storytelling.

Judas, the game in development at Ken Levine's Ghost Story Games, just had a huge amount of details revealed by the man himself. Levine was featured in a fresh 75-minute interview with IGN's Ryan McCaffrey and Geoff Keighley, who had just played four or five hours of the game.

A selection of previews for Judas, the new game from former BioShock boss Ken Levine, have just dropped, detailing a game with an ambitious, "pseudo-procedural" approach to narrative.

Good news for people who don’t cringe violently every time they encounter the phrase “Narrative Legos”! We’ve finally got some more details about the extremely Bioshock-adjacent Judas, courtesy of the Ian Games Network, who spent six hours playing the game and chatting to Levine at Ghost Story Games in Boston. It’s a massive interview, but very broadly, it's an FPS game that gives you guns in your right hand and “various organic powers” in your left. It’s got a big focus on story and choosing your own path through character interaction, and it also has roguelike elements. “The ship is different every time you die and come back, the ship layout can be different," says Levine.

It's been 10 years since BioShock Infinite, and creator Ken Levine is still not done with follow-up project Judas. But the game is inching closer, evidenced recently by its appearance in trailers and now, a marketing beat where select people such as Game Awards host Geoff Keighley have now played it for several hours.

By sheer coincidence, today marks exactly 11 years since BioShock Infinite was released. It was by all accounts a masterpiece – a worthy follow-up to 2007's landmark narrative-driven first-person shooter BioShock. But after two excellent DLC episodes were released, creative director Ken Levine resigned and parent company Take-Two closed Irrational Games. Levine started a new, smaller studio for Take-Two called Campfire Games, later renamed to Ghost Story Games. And then everything went quiet, with Levine rarely speaking publicly outside of a GDC talk about "narrative LEGOs" in 2014.

New information on Judas, the next game from BioShock creator Ken Levine, has emerged.

Ghost Story Games’ Judas, the next title directed by Ken Levine of Bioshock fame, is due for an update. Announced at The Game Awards 2022 and slated for launch by March 2025, it saw a new trailer last month highlighting its story and setting. Fortunately, it seems new details are coming very soon.

PlayStation hosted the year's first State of Play games showcase early Thursday, bringing a host of new announcements, reveals and updates on upcoming releases.

The latter also finally received a release date — Shift Up's action-adventure title is arriving April 26. Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin received a detailed gameplay trailer, showing off sword combat, special weapons, and traversal. We also got to know a bit more about the Edo period setting of the game, which takes right in the middle of the Japanese revolution.

Sony will step up to the spotlight this week with a PlayStation State of Play broadcast, it's been reported.

This year's Game Awards ceremony garnered a lot of justified criticism for the way it rushed winning developers off stage in favour of adverts, rambling conversations with Hideo Kojima, and celebrity cameos from the likes of Timothée Chalamet.

The Game Awards 2023 will take place on Thursday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and you’ll be able to watch events unfold live right here.

Former BioShock director Ken Levine has labeled one canned game the "best game" developer Irrational never got to make.

The nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have been announced.

Ken Levine, best-known for System Shock 2 and Bioshock, is not one for social media. Levine was the co-founder of Irrational Games and led the development of that studio's varied output in different creative roles for almost two decades, before the experience of developing Bioshock Infinite led to the studio's total restructuring as a much smaller operation.

Writer Michael Green gives an update on how the film is coming along.

While the Steampunk aesthetic doesn’t get the same level of love that many others demand, it’s because it’s so damn hard to get right! Well, there are at least 15 titles on the Xbox Series X|S that nail the look so join us as we go through the very best of them.

Geoff Keighley has announced that The Game Awards will be held on December 7, 2023.

Dragami Games has announced a delay for the upcoming re-release of Suda51 and James Gunn action game Lollipop Chainsaw.
