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.

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.'”
