The next entry in the BioShock series will likely have a brand new setting and a narrative-driven experience in the vein of previous entries in the franchise.
New vacancies posted on the Cloud Chamber’s official website, as detected by Mauro NL, revealed that the next entry in the series is powered by the Unreal Engine 4, and it’s unplanned for next-gen consoles, which is not to say surprisingly, seeing the game is still several years away.
Since the new game is still far from release, details are very limited at the moment, but it looks like the game will have a brand new setting, as one of the ads calls it breathing “life in a new and fantastic world”. The game will also be a narrative and system-driven experience, with combat that will be “accessible, satisfying and will allow a high degree of player expression and experimentation within a highly reactive world”.
