The producer of the Netflix film BioShock has revealed that there are plans for the launch to be accompanied by a “new iteration of the BioShock games”.
Film adaptation BioShocka and the next game of that series had an equally problematic development. The film was announced in Netflix’s production as early as 2022, although there were attempts to make it come to life earlier, while the BioShock games were still relevant. As for the new game, it has been in development for years at new studio Cloud Chamber Games, but has never been officially shown to the public.
Both the film and the game are still in development, and as the film’s producer revealed in an interview with Collider, the plan is to have both ready for launch in a similar period.
“We know that Netflix and Take-Two are very anxious for the film to come out as they want the release to coincide with potential new incarnations of the game.” – said the film’s producer, Roy Lee.
Unfortunately for BioShock fans, there is no indication of when the film itself might be completed. Lee reveals how full production hasn’t started yet and won’t start until next year.
