BioShock is Officially in its Flop Era 💀 Sequel Fails Review, Remake Gets Axed

Would You Kindly... Get It Together?

Okay, so gather ‘round, besties, because the tea is piping hot and honestly, it’s a little heartbreaking. Not me actually about to get serious for a sec. Remember the next BioShock game? The one we’ve been waiting for since, like, forever? Well, it’s reportedly in its flop era. 🙃 A new report from the ever-reliable Jason Schreier at just dropped, and it’s not giving what it was supposed to give. Apparently, the sequel, which is being cooked up (or not) at Cloud Chamber, recently failed a big internal review with the 2K bosses. You know it’s bad when the execs who want your money say “nah, this ain’t it.” The fallout? A whole leadership shake-up and a “significant overhaul” of the game’s narrative. Read: they’re basically hitting Ctrl+Z on who knows how many years of work. Oof.

Rapture Remake Sleeps With the Fishes

But wait, it gets worse! 💀

As if the sequel being stuck in development hell wasn't enough, the report also claims that a remake of the original, perfect, masterpiece BioShock was also in the works... and was canceled earlier this year. No reason was given, but I’m just saying, that’s some clown behavior right there. We could have had pretty, non-buggy Rapture in glorious 4K, but I guess we can’t have nice things.

Let’s not forget, Cloud Chamber was literally created back in 2019 for the sole purpose of making this game. And after years of radio silence, this is the news we get? It’s giving… chaos.

So, what does this mean for the future of BioShock? Honestly, who even knows at this point. 2K hasn't officially confirmed anything, but the silence is deafening. For now, it seems like our return to a lighthouse, a man, and a city is further away than ever.

Pour one out for Rapture, I guess. We’ll be over here playing the originals and trying to forget this whole mess. 🪫
