2K Reportedly Working on New ‘BioShock’ Game?
Once again, it’s time for Rumour Control. Here are the facts.
In a Kotaku article (yeah, I know) regarding last year’s Mafia III, and its impact on its developer, Hangar 13 (which subsequently went through layoffs after the game’s release), the author of the article mentions that some of the crew who worked on Mafia III had left Hanger 13 and “moved to the top-secret studio next door to work on an unannounced new BioShock game.”
Codenamed Parkside, the game is still very early in development, with only a small team at the moment to avoid overstaffing. The article does explain that not everyone who left Hanger 13 was able to join the 2K Games studio next door, and those who did were understandably “very tight-lipped” when asked about Parkside.
The last time we heard from BioShock in general was last year with its 10th Anniversary release (and its Big Daddy statue). And before that was 2013’s superb BioShock Infinite. 2K have stated that they’d like to revisit the series, calling it “unquestionably a permanent franchise,” and even hinted at a new entry in their November 2017 fiscal report.
It’s all just hearsay at the moment, but the idea to revisit the world of BioShock is more than welcome.
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.
