BioShock remake might be happening as insider teases announcement
A source has claimed a BioShock announcement is set to drop this summer, and most signs point to a potential remake. While we know several projects are underway in the BioShock franchise, news around the series has been relatively light over the past few years. The next mainline instalment, provisionally titled BioShock 4, was announced way back in 2019 from developer Cloud Chamber. We've heard little about the game since, outside of a job listing which suggested development was ramping up last year. We know a Netflix film adaptation is also in the works, while rumours of a BioShock remake have floated around following a LinkedIn post from a 2K employee. We've heard little about these projects either, but an insider has claimed news related to the franchise is on the near horizon. According to leaker Kurakasis (via Mp1st), who accurately outed the existence of a Metro VR game last year, publisher 2K is preparing to make an announcement related to the BioShock franchise, which will 'likely' happen before the end of the summer. The actual contents of the announcement are unknown, but the leaker claims Rapture, the underwater city setting from the first two games, will play a 'significant role'. As such, they speculate it could be connected to the rumoured remake of the first title. However, the report throws up some other possibilities. While rumours suggested BioShock 4 would be set in the Antarctic, it's possible it could feature Rapture in some capacity. The announcement could also be tied to the Netflix movie, which will presumably adapt the events of the first game. More Trending While it hasn't been announced, a remake of BioShock makes a lot of sense as a way to drum up excitement for the next instalment – especially as the latter might still be a few years away. Considering how vague the details are though, it's possible this announcement could be related to something else entirely within the BioShock franchise. So let's just hope it isn't a mobile spin-off. As for when this announcement could happen, the obvious contender is Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 6. It could also pop at Microsoft's Xbox showcase on June 8, or the rumoured State Of Play from Sony. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter, and sign-up to our newsletter.
