Studio of BioShock creator announces first game Judas

Ghost Story Games has announced its first game Judas. The fps will appear for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles and PC. The studio was founded by Ken Levine, creator of the BioShock games. Ghost Story has reportedly been working on Judas since 2014.

Judas is a single-player FPS where players must escape from a spaceship that is falling apart. The players take on the role of Judas, a ‘mysterious and deranged person’. To escape the starship, Judas must team up with her worst enemies or break existing partnerships.

In the trailer several characters and enemies pass by. Judas can use weapons such as a crossbow, pistol or hammer to defeat enemies, but she also has a kind of energy ball in her left hand with which she can generate fire, among other things, to kill enemies.

When the game should appear is not clear. The game is coming on Windows to both the Epic Games Store and Steam. Ken Levine is the founder of the responsible studio and also the creator of the game. Levine was also the creator of the BioShock games and was involved as creative director in the development of BioShock, BioShock Infinite and System Shock 2.

In 2014, Levine quit the studio behind those games and started what is now called Ghost Story Games, under the banner of publisher Take-Two. He wanted to work on a new game with this smaller team. In January, former and current employees said development on that game was in development hell and the project had been completely scrapped and restarted several times. Presumably it was about Judas.
