Bioshock Senior cinematic designer Jeff Spoonhower took to LinkedIn to announce that developer Cloud Chamber is now “ramping up” and looking to hire several new employees across a variety of disciplines. “The BioShock team at 2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up!” He said. “We have many positions open across a variety of disciplines including art, animation, engineering, design, narrative, and production. We are working on a really awesome project, and our studio is remote-friendly.” Back in 2020, Take Two announced that the next Bioshock game “will be in development for the next several years.” Additional details have yet to be revealed but according to several job listings related to the title, the game is being developed on Unreal Engine 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Details on the latest game in the series:
Indebted to the wrong people, with his life on the line, veteran of the U.S. Cavalry and now hired gun, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.
