Irrational Games, the studio behind the BioShock series, will close down as its founder Ken Levine commits to a “new venture” with a smaller studio.
Levine made the announcement today via a lengthy web post, detailing plans to shut the BioShock studio and form a new outfit made up of “about fifteen members of the Irrational team”, with a focus on “narrative-driven” digital games “that are highly replayable”.
Levine confirmed that his new studio will be started under the wing of Irrational Games parent firm Take-Two. A focus on download-only titles was confirmed, but Levine made no reference to any specific platforms.
