Discussing Judas with BioShock Infinite's creator: A decade later, conversations revolve around betrayal
In an exciting turn of events, the development team behind Judas has been sharing more about the highly-anticipated game through a series of blog posts. These updates focus on various aspects of the upcoming title, offering fans a glimpse into what they can expect.
Judas, a first-person shooter, is set to release on multiple platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store and Steam), and PlayStation 5. The game's story revolves around three key characters, known as the "Big 3," who interact on a collapsing starship.
The game's creative director, Ken Levine, has been open about the team's focus on finishing Judas. He recently shared the game's key art in an update, adding to the excitement among fans.
However, the development of Judas has not been without its challenges. The team at Ghost Story Games, the developer behind Judas, has faced several delays, with the game originally slated for a 2017 launch. Additionally, there have been reports of employees quitting due to issues with management, further contributing to the delays.
Despite these challenges, Levine remains committed to a timely release. He has stated that the team is working towards avoiding any changes to the release date after the announcement.
One unique feature of Judas is the concept of "Villainy," where the player's actions determine who becomes the main antagonist. Ignoring certain characters can cause them to gain abilities that may threaten the player.
Another interesting aspect of the game is the character of Security Chief Tom, who offers "Rent-a-Deputy" robots to assist in combat. However, these robots become hostile if the player annoys him.
As of Aug. 28, 2025, there is still no official release date for Judas, but it seems closer to arrival. According to Take-Two Interactive's financial results, it is expected to launch at some point by March 2025.
In a surprising twist, it was announced that Rod Fergusson would be taking charge as the new studio head on the next BioShock, not Kelley Gilmore as previously thought. Gilmore, however, remains a significant figure in the gaming industry, having taken the reins at Ghost Story Games.
The development team at Ghost Story Games recently shared an update on the game's development, promising to continue sharing more information about Judas through future blog posts focused on particular aspects of the game. Fans can look forward to more exciting updates in the coming months.
