BioShock Creator Discusses Concept for New Game Judas
27.03.2024 - 17:19 / gameranx.com / Ken Levine
After his work on the legendary BioShock series, Ken Levine began Ghost Story Games, a rebranding of Irrational Games under Take-Two Interactive. Following years of silence from the studio, things changed during the 2022 Game Awards, when Levine announced Judas, a narrative single-player first-person shooter in space.
Not much more was seen until Sony’s recent State of Play, when a new trailer for the game was revealed. In a new interview with IGN, however, Levine is finally giving some more details about the bizarre—and slightly BioShock-adjacent—title. Thankfully, he’s also explaining what he meant by wanting to make a “Narrative LEGO” game, something he uttered in a talk during the 2014 GDC.
“Taking the LEGO metaphor, we started thinking, well, could we use handcrafted elements that are not huge entire levels, but sub-elements like lines of speech, pieces of art, texture, maps, encounters, loot, even the layout of the whole experience and make those out of modular chunks and then teach the game,” Levine explained.
“We call it pseudo-procedural because it’s not like Minecraft where everything’s being generated off a set of pure mathematical heuristics. You build all these smaller piece elements in the game and then you teach the game how to make good levels essentially, and good story, and most importantly, reactive to what you do.”
In Judas, players will step into the shoes of a young woman aboard a city-sized spaceship called the Mayflower. Each time you die, you’ll be able to ‘reprint’ yourself, with the decisions you make altering the story in drastic ways.
A brief synopsis posted on the official Ghost Story Games website reads:
“A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan.
You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies. Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?”

Earlier this month, the world lost a one-of-a-kind creative talent with the news of Akira Toriyama’s passing. While Dragon Ball will always be Toriyama-sensei’s best-known work, he leaves behind a legacy full of many other imaginative worlds across games, anime, and manga. Before leaving us, he worked with Bandai Namco to flesh out one of his short manga creations further: Sand Land. Alongside a new anime series, Toriyama-sensei gave input on a videogame adaptation of Sand Land that would allow players to explore this unique world for themselves.

Judas has reactive difficulty, evil dentist chairs, and a giant robot dog for fast travel
Following up yesterday’s news on Ghost Ship Games’ upcoming Judas, courtesy of the Ian Games Network, another interview with the Friends Per Second podcast, via SkillUp on YouTube, has shed light aplenty on the upcoming Bioshock-ian FPS game. The hosts played the game for 5 hours at Ghost Ship Games in Boston, then interviewed director Ken Levine. Here’s a crunchy chipstick of a take to kick things off with; Judas is, says Ralph of SkillUp, “Definitely not Bioshock in space”. I...haven't played it, have I, so I'll put my cynicism in its horrible little cage for a bit. Aesthetically, at least, Judas does look to have a lot going for it.
