Rod the savior
Even with a new leader at the head of this new BioShockwho knows the license very well, there is reason to be worried about the future of this project. So it was time for Take-Two to reassure the public, and especially the shareholders, by ensuring that everything is going well, despite the latest difficulties. Strauss Zelnick therefore released his finest tongue in cheek to promise us that this new episode is now “ on excellent track » to exceed public expectations (comments relayed by Wccftech):
“ We are delighted to welcome Rod at the helm of Cloud Chamber. He is the new head of the BioShock franchise. He is an undisputed veteran of the industry, and in particular of BioShock Infinite. He also worked on Gears of War and Diablo. We are extremely grateful to have him at Cloud Chamber. BioShock is a major license for us, one of our most important. We can’t wait to release the next episode. We’ve made some changes within the organization and reorganized some things. We are confident that the game is on an excellent path to delivering an experience that will exceed players’ expectations. To conclude, the next BioShock will propel the franchise to new heights, which is always our ambition for all our licenses. »
In short, move along, there’s nothing to see, a third of the studio was kicked out a few weeks ago, but I promise, everything is fine. The CEO is careful not to say for which fiscal year this new game is now planned, probably because Cloud Chamber does not even know for its part.
