2K Games in December 2019 announced it had opened up a new video game studio, Cloud Chamber, that will develop the next game in the BioShock franchise. The studio is a division of 2K Games and is based in Novato, California, with a studio in Montreal, Quebec.
A potential leak via Twitter user @oopsleaks, says the game is titled BioShock Isolation, however, that could change before it is unveiled. The official announcement is said to happen in the first quarter of 2022.
The game is set in a new area in an isolated dystopian city and is using Unreal Engine 5. It is being developed by Irrational Games veterans and people who worked on Watch Dogs: Legion, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and more.
A leaked slide from a Bioshock pitching presentation suggests there could be two cities with different ideologies. One city would be a free and wealthy society led by a successful entrepreneur. The second city will be isolated underground, separated from the upper world, and is led by a dictator waging a war with the first city.

There might be two cities with radically different ideology, one of them located underground right below the other, both sharing a "flipside" border zone with an unleashed "vertical war". pic.twitter.com/Cy6fddJmV1

Not sure if this will retain the essence of what Bioshock was considering the original team isn't behind it (If I remember correctly.) but I'm not going to lie, I can't help but be a little excited.

I hope ken levine is part of the development, otherwise it might be a pass for me.
One of my favorite franchises of all time. Can't wait for this.
Would love to see a new Bioshock, I just hope it doesn't enforce that crappy 2k "launcher", because that launcher broke my XCOM 2 and mods.
The whole overcity and undercity thing reminds me of Taris from KOTOR.
Very reassuring to see people who worked on Mafia 3 are working on this.
Check another box on the Nvidia GeForce Now leak lol
