The boss of Cloud Chamber the studio making the next Bioshock game for 2K has been removed from their job. This is the latest problem for the game's development.
Right now no one knows for sure what will happen to the next Bioshock game. But unfortunately it has just faced another major problem. The publisher 2K has confirmed to Bloomberg that they’ve made big changes in the team that’s making the game. This is because Bioshock 4 recently failed a review by executives at the company. That means the higher-ups looked at the progress so far and were not happy with how things were going.
The new Bioshock game (which still doesn’t have an official name) was first announced back in 2019. Since then fans have been waiting eagerly because it’s one of the most wanted upcoming games for PC. However even before landing with the current team at Cloud Chamber the project was passed around between different 2K development teams. Eventually Cloud Chamber was chosen to lead the development and this would be their very first big game project.
The head of Cloud Chamber was Kelley Gilmore a respected game developer who used to work at Firaxis a studio known for games like XCOM and Civilization. But now according to a report by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier Kelley Gilmore has been removed from her role. In the same report Schreier also says that Hogarth de la Plante the game's creative director has been moved to a different role in publishing instead of continuing work on the game directly. After this report came out 2K confirmed that these leadership changes were true.
So why is all of this happening? Schreier’s sources say the game's story or narrative is the main problem. The executives at 2K didn’t think the story was good enough and they want big changes to be made. Because of this the game’s narrative is going to be completely reworked in the coming months.
All of this shows that Bioshock 4 is still in a difficult situation. It’s been many years since the announcement but there are still big changes happening behind the scenes. Fans are still hopeful but it’s clear that this game has a long road ahead before it’s ready.
After a news report from Bloomberg talked about problems with the new Bioshock game the company behind it 2K shared a statement. They said they are trying really hard to make sure the next Bioshock game has the best future possible. According to 2K the game right now is good but they don’t want to stop there. They want it to be great not just good. That’s why they are working closely with the studio’s leaders to decide what needs to be done to improve the game and take it in the right direction.
But even after all this time and effort it looks like Bioshock 4 is still having a tough time being made. The game has already gone through many problems over the years and it seems like more trouble keeps showing up. Sadly it feels like Bioshock 4 just can’t catch a break. This is especially disappointing because Bioshock is such a popular and well-loved series.
Meanwhile the company that owns 2K called Take-Two Interactive is very busy with some big upcoming games. They are working on Mafia The Old Country a new game in the Mafia series. They’re also making Borderlands 4 which many fans are excited for. And let’s not forget the biggest one GTA 6 which is supposed to come out in the first half of next year. Because of all these major projects it seems like Bioshock 4 might not come out for a while. That’s really sad for fans who have been waiting for so long.
Some people had hoped that 2K would remake the original Bioshock game while we wait for the new one. That way players could enjoy the classic game again with better graphics and modern features. In fact Bloomberg’s reporter Jason Schreier said in his article that 2K was actually working on a remake. But unfortunately it seems like that project has been canceled or put on hold. So now fans don’t have the remake and they don’t have Bioshock 4 either.
For a game series as famous and loved as Bioshock this situation is really disappointing. Players have been waiting patiently hoping for some good news. Let’s hope 2K and the team can finally turn things around and give Bioshock the amazing future it truly deserves.
While we all wait to hear more news about Bioshock 4 there’s not much we can do right now except be patient. Hopefully the next update about the game will be something good like a new trailer a release window or some exciting gameplay details. Fans have been waiting a long time and we all want to see this next chapter in the Bioshock series turn out great. But until that happens you don’t have to sit around being bored.

If you love single-player games that have strong stories cool worlds to explore and exciting gameplay there are some really great options out there right now. These games are ready to play immediately and can give you hours and hours of fun.
