The development process of the upcoming Bioshock game appears to be fraught with difficulties, according to a series of tweets posted by the Twitter account, Oops Leaks. It must be noted, however, that these claims are yet to be verified, so they should be considered speculative until confirmed by official sources.
Oops Leaks, known for sharing information about the gaming industry, has expressed concern over the state of the new Bioshock game. The leaker reported that the game has gone through a series of complications, including frequent changes in development teams, multiple reboots, and numerous rewrites. According to the tweets, despite these efforts to revamp the game, the development process remains disorganized, leading to what the leaker terms as ‘development hell’.
Notably, the account pointed out the game’s unusual staff makeup, with a large number of employees apparently lacking the requisite experience for such an ambitious project. This situation, coupled with a high turnover of contract workers, has reportedly resulted in work being redone by less qualified specialists.
Additionally, Oops Leaks indicated that the narrative team has struggled significantly, unable to produce a script that meets the expectations of the acclaimed Bioshock franchise. This challenge has reportedly prompted a critical reboot.
The leaker also provided a timeline, noting that the project has been rebooted four times since the involvement of game developer Certain Affinity until the present day under Cloud Chamber. The most recent reboot occurred in the summer of 2022.
Despite these reported obstacles, signs suggest some progress in development. The Cloud Chamber trademark was re-applied in March, and during a recent T2 investor call, plans were reiterated to release the game in fiscal 2025. Job listings for the project also reportedly remain high.
However, Oops Leaks asserted that if the game is not announced this summer, it could be indicative of deeper development issues, which may jeopardize its intended 2025 release. The account attributed these problems to poor management, uncertainty about financial success, questionable staffing decisions, and the ongoing global pandemic.
