Following BioShock Infinite and its excellent, noir-esque Dlc Burial at Sea, Creative Director Ken Levine formally announced plans to “wind down” Irrational Games as we know it. Almost every staff member was laid off as Levine and a handful of key developers switched gears to double down on digital, narrative-driven games.
That was three years ago, and today brings word that a dozen former Irrational employees – Levine included – have rallied together to form Ghost Story Games. Little is known about the studio’s current project(s), but according to the official site, the end goal of Ghost is to “create immersive, story-driven games for people who love games that ask something of them.”
Ken Levine has been appointed President and Creative Director of Ghost Story Games, who will oversee a team comprised of Shawn Robertson, Don Roy, Emma Clarkson, Seth Kendall, and many more.

Almost ten years on from the moment Irrational Games swung open the majestic doors to Rapture, 2K has today unveiled a new trailer for BioShock: The Collection, touting the revamped graphics for all three core titles.
Pegged to land across all platforms on September 13, the compilation features BioShock, its sequel, BioShock: Infinite and all single-player Dlc – Minerva’s Den included. Those wanting to take a deeper dive into the history of the dormant series can also look forward to a commentary from Game Director Ken Levine and Lead Artist Shawn Robertson, as they guide you through the dark, dank corridors of Rapture all the way up to the clouds of Columbia.
As previously announced, those on PC should note that while The Collection does come packing BioShock: Infinite, it’s not a remaster of the original and is instead a regular port of the 2013 release. Blind Squirrel Games is the studio behind the soon-to-be-released package,...

Well, here we are. It may have taken a little longer than expected, but 2K Games has finally confirmed BioShock: The Collection‘s existence after several retailer leaks outed it earlier this year. Following the tease yesterday on a Twitter page created especially by 2K that simply read “Welcome to Rapture! Would you kindly follow @BioShock?”, 2K has now confirmed that the compilation will launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on September 16 and include all three games, their respective Dlc and some new bonus content.
A never-before-seen commentary series featuring BioShock creative director Ken Levine and animation lead Shawn Robertson will be included and, as stated by GameInformer, all three titles will be upgraded to 1080p/60fps on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Interestingly, 2K has confirmed that BioShock Infinite won’t be remastered for PC, as it “already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.
