2K May Be Teasing a ‘BioShock’ Announcement
If a couple tweets from the 2K International Twitter account are anything to go by, we may soon be hearing from BioShock. The teasing started yesterday, with a tweet that paired an image of an in-game ad for Eve’s Garden, an exotic dancing venue in Fort Frolic, with the cryptic message “#Discuss”. Not much to go on there.
The second tweet, which you can see below, was a bit more intriguing as it paired the same image with the message “Oooo, what COULD this mean?!” Not very subtle, but where the first tweet could’ve meant anything, the second sounds a lot more like a nod and a wink for something BioShock related.

It almost definitely won’t be a Vita game, as Ken Levine shot down that possibility earlier this month. BioShock and BioShock Infinite developer Irrational Games closed its doors in February, leaving the series in the capable hands of 2K.
With 2K at the wheel, the future of the series is entirely up in the air. What they do with it now is anyone’s guess. I’d say the first game is just about due for a remake or “HD remaster”, though I’d much prefer this to be a another standalone entry in the series. How about you?
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.
