BioShock creator Ken Levine’s new studio has been revealed to be Ghost Story, a Boston-area development studio which describes itself as being “dedicated to making immersive story driven games for gamers that like a challenge”.
Ghost Story was co-founded by twelve former Irrational Games developers – the studio closed in 2014 – including creative director Ken Levine, art director Shawn Robertson, and executive producer Don Roy.
Job listings also indicate the game will be an FPS set in a semi open world, built on Unreal Engine 4. There’s also a requirement of having shipped triple A titles in the past.
Interestingly, technical lead Jeremy Carson states: “We are in such a fortunate situation – to be working on a new IP, on a small team of highly experienced developers, with strong direction and with the backing of a well-established company, we are truly in a unique position to explore a new idea.”
That well-established company is in fact Take-Two which actually filed a trademark for Ghost Story back in October 2016, which at the time many believed could be the title of a new game.
