Recently, a status update on LinkedIn showed that Liz Arbor, the chief screenwriter who was originally scheduled to be responsible for the new "BioShock" game, left Cloud Chamber Studio in August this year and officially joined CD Projekt RED.The Polish developer is currently developing the sequel to "Cyberpunk 2077" and "The Witcher 4" simultaneously.

This personnel change stems from publisher 2K's dissatisfaction with the progress of the "BioShock 4" project, especially the narrative level.The official decision to "refactor" the core elements of the game and reduce the size of the team resulted in series adjustments including the removal of studio head Kelly Gilmore and the transfer of creative director Hogarth de la Plante to the publishing department.

The project has been overseen by industry veteran Rod Ferguson, known for his work on the Gears of War and Diablo series.It is reported that the game plot is undergoing major reconstruction and the development direction will be reoriented.

Liz Arbor has participated in the development of multiple AAA games, and her resume includes the (cancelled) "Wonder Woman" game, "Ghost of Tsushima", "Far Cry 5", "Watch Dogs" and "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag".

Specific information about the new generation of "BioShock" is still under wraps, but rumors suggest it will adopt a new worldview and introduce open-world elements.Take-Two has confirmed that the game is still in development, but has not announced a specific release window.

At the same time, Netflix is ​​preparing a film and television adaptation project based on the original "BioShock", which has been confirmed to be produced by well-known producer Roy Lee.
