Ken Levine has revealed his upcoming sport, Judas, will probably be an “old-school” and “conventional” single-player journey.
It has been 11 years since BioShock Infinite, and on the floor, Judas appears to be a BioShock sport in all however identify, with gunplay and elemental powers in an offbeat alternate universe setting. And whereas that’s primarily what trailers have proven us of the sport up to now, Levine has now confirmed that his upcoming sport will certainly really feel “old-school” given its focus not on stay service or on-line play, however “telling the story and transporting the participant”.
“I grew up enjoying single-player video games,” Levine mentioned. “And I grew up earlier than […] sure varieties of monetisation existed. I am not right here in any respect to say that is dangerous, or that is good, proper? That is not likely my factor. I do know the sorts of video games I wish to make, and so we by no means made a sport… like, Juas is a really old-school sport,” Levine informed Nightdive’s Lawrence Sonntag in a current interview (thanks, GR+).
“You purchase the sport and also you get the entire thing. There is not any on-line part. There is not any stay service, as a result of the whole lot we do is in service of telling the story and transporting the participant someplace.
“We’re very lucky. That is no diss on any builders who’ve accomplished that, as a result of look, video games are costly to make, and we’re very lucky to work at an organization the place they consider in us sufficient that they are saying, ‘Okay, you’ve got been engaged on this factor for a very long time, it is gonna value an inexpensive sum of money, and we’re not gonna push any of that stuff on you.'”
We initially anticipated Judas to launch by the top of the final monetary 12 months – April 2025 – however as but, we nonetheless haven’t got a launch window, not to mention a agency date.
