Blind Squirrel Games Teases VR Version of ‘BioShock’?
UPDATE: Well, it turns out that the use of hashtags got everyone’s hopes up, apparently. Blind Squirrel are NOT, in fact, doing a VR version of BioShock:
Holy rumor mill, Batman!
Let's clear up a few things:
YES we are making Bioshock cocktails
YES we are unveiling new Forklift content in VR
YES we'll have a big announcement near the end…
NO, it is NOT Bioshock related (nor is it Forklift related)— Blind Squirrel Games (@Blind_Squirrel_) December 18, 2018
Funny how yesterday, we had the announcement about the remastered versions of BioShockand BioShock 2 heading to GOG.com. Today, we’ve got an interesting announcement (or rather, an impending one) from Blind Squirrel Games. It seems that we’re in for a VR version of BioShock!
Tomorrow at 2! Tune in for a super special #Twitch stream: The #BSG Holiday Special! Join us for holiday Bioshocktails, more #ForkliftSimulator2019, festive shenanigans, and… We've got a big surprise in store.#Bioshock #BlindSquirrelGames #VR https://t.co/X2Xp3FOmhj

Obviously, nothing’s confirmed yet (including platforms), but we’ll find out tomorrow when Blind Squirrel has their Twitch stream at 2PM PST/5PM EST. It’s been five years going on six since BioShock Infinite, so until 2K finally spills the beans on that rumoured next game in the series, at least we have something definitely cool (and terrifying) to look forward to in the new year.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
