Earlier this month, the lead of Diablo 4 general manager and Blizzard’s Diablo team, Rod Fergusson, announced he was leaving the studio. The X (Twitter) post came out of blue, but no one knew why he left or who would replace him. As he announced today that he has returned to 2k, there is an answer to one of these questions. Bioshock Franchise. While that may sound like a dream job to many, the series and the entire studio are currently in a difficult place. That means Ferguson is doing a big job in his hands.
In his post, announcing his new role, previously an executive at Bioshock Infinite, he recognized that “restructuring the studio is a difficult time for the team.” The number of developers affected by the layoffs is unknown, but 2K is clearly unhappy with the recent direction of the Bioshock franchise. BioShock 4, or whatever it’s ultimately called, has been in development since 2018, and players have had few indications of it being alive.
Ferguson is currently at the helm of Cloud Chamber, the developer working on his next BioShock game. The hope is to join the best FPS gaming Pantheon, but its problematic developments are bothering me.
Thanks to the Bloomberg report, more information about its development can be found here. However, Ferguson is more than just a game. He will also direct Netflix films in development.
Finally, Ferguson appeals to all players who are enthusiastically anticipating information about the next Bioshock game. “We are committed to building a Bioshock game that we are proud of. We don’t expect any news anytime soon, but after such an extended development cycle, players’ expectations will be empty.
While you’re waiting, try one of the other best single-player games for similar hits. However, there’s plenty of time to upgrade to the best gaming monitor, so there’s no excuse for grainy quality by the time the BioShock 4 arrives.
