The crux of the rumors is that the game has been rebooted repeatedly and has been through multiple changes in dev leadership.
We should point out straightaway that this is very speculative and strong in its reliance on rumors - we are not totally sure the reports are accurate, but will tentatively include them here for context. Some internet rumors claim that BioShock 4 is in development hell Again, there was and has been no official comment on that. Going back a bit further in 2021, there was a strong belief that BioShock 4 would be going open-world due to details stated in some job ads at the time that all pointed toward the design of a bust, crowd-filled, expansive open-world setting.
While these claims did align with several publications' own sources at the time, there has been no official confirmation or word on them. The crux of the rumors was that BioShock 4 would be set in the 1960s and in an Antarctic city called 'Borealis' - and that its story would connect the previous games in the series. In terms of possible BioShock 4 setting details, there was a lot of rumor floating around at the end of 2021 stating that the fourth game would take us back to a familiar time period. 2K President David Ismailer said alongside that ”We can’t wait to see where its powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay head in the future with our new studio team at Cloud Chamber leading the charge.” This rather implies that the first-person nature is likely to continue. The original official 2K press release from 2019 (no longer live or available) and announcements made alongside it that revealed the next BioShock game was in development did seem to indicate that it would be first-person again. However, there have been some clues that we could investigate (read: 'cling to') to try and inform ourselves a little on both factors.įirst, to potential BioShock 4 gameplay. Now, when looking at or thinking about BioShock 4 gameplay and setting details we are diving head first into a lot of speculation and clutching at straws. Whether the title arrives on last-generation consoles like Xbox One and PS4 is less certain it depends on when the sequel releases. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X now available, we'll almost certainly be seeing a new BioShock releasing on these platforms (and probably on PC too). That may not have been the most welcome news, but it did give us an idea about what platforms BioShock 4 would eventually release on.
