We haven't been this close to a new Bioshock in years

If you think of Bioshock when you see this trailer, you're not wrong: Judas will be Ken Levine's new shooter. And of course he is the creator of the cult game series that first took us to Rapture on the ocean floor and then to Columbia between the clouds.

Judas shows a lot of the story and a bit of gameplay in the trailer

Judas is now being developed at Ghost Story Games, the development studio currently headed by Levine. With the latest one State of play there is now a fresh story trailer for Judas, which even comes with a handful of gameplay snippets.

Judas: The Bioshock vibes are strong in the story trailer for Ken Levine's new shooter

What else you should know about the Bioshock heir

And yes, the parallels to Bioshock are of course obvious: We fight against human adversaries and mechanical killing machines, firearm in one hand and elemental superpowers in the other. This time we are not at the bottom of the sea or among the clouds, but on board the Mayflower space station.

As in Rapture or Columbia, there is definitely nothing right going on here. The new trailer teases the dystopian sci-fi setting in which we (or our titular heroine) have to repair something that we previously broke. Maybe the realization has something to do with the fact that the residents of Mayflower have been systematically manipulated and spied on for years…

According to information from Ghost Story Games, Judas is supposed to be a story-driven single-player shooter full of psychological elements in which our decisions play an important role. There is currently no release dateJudas is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
