2K Mum On ‘BioShock’ Vita Following Irrational’s Closure

Published

Yesterday, Irrational Games studio head Ken Levine shared some unexpected news — that the studio behind the renowned BioShock franchise is no more. It was a decision made so Levine could pursue a new, and admittedly very exciting, creative endeavor with the goal of bringing gamers a digital game with a “focus entirely on replayable narrative.”

As Levine moves on with the remaining Irrational team, BioShock fans are left wondering about the future of the series.

Unfortunately, while 2K is unlikely to stop making them, they don’t have much to say right now.

Back in 2011, a PS Vita exclusive entry in the franchise was announced, with nary a word on it since. It was planned to be built from the ground up for Sony’s handheld console, but nothing but a logo was ever shown. When asked for comment, a 2K rep told CVG there is no update to share on the status of the game.

Is it still in the works or has it been canned? I’m hesitant to lean either way. Hopefully we’ll know more soon.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
