BioShock creator Ken Levine finally explains Judas "narrative Lego" concept
26.03.2024 - 18:27 / eurogamer.net / Geoff Keighley / Troy Baker / Ken Levine
It's been 10 years since BioShock Infinite, and creator Ken Levine is still not done with follow-up project Judas. But the game is inching closer, evidenced recently by its appearance in trailers and now, a marketing beat where select people such as Game Awards host Geoff Keighley have now played it for several hours.
On the surface, this is a BioShock game in all but name, with gunplay and elemental powers in an offbeat alternate universe setting. And this is essentially what trailers have shown us of the game so far.
Now, Levine has discussed how this all fits with his long-standing desire to make a game from «narrative Lego» — essentially, from hand-crafted bits that are combined differently each time you play.
JUDAS — Geoff Plays Ken Levine's New Game in Boston Geoff Keighley discusses Judas, and shows off a few snippets of gameplay.The basics are that you play as Judas, the woman with long white hair glimpsed in previous trailers, aboard a crashing city-sized spaceship named the Mayflower. She begins the game having died, but is able to «reprint» herself back to life, which seems a process not unlike BioShock's Vita-Chambers.
Central to Judas' experience — and to how the game adapts to each playthrough — will be digital projections of three other characters who you can ally yourself with to varying degrees: a sheriff character named Tom, played by the ubiquitous Troy Baker, a woman named Nefertiti and girl named Hope.
How you'll experience their stories and how they react to Judas will depend on your actions, and how you explore the game's non-linear world — similar, Keighley says, to how Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system reacted to players.

Tekken director apparently keeps getting requests to add a Waffle House stage
Waffle House is one of those uniquely American institutions-turned-meme. The 24/7 chain is not only a place where you can order a breakfast combo at 3AM, but where unruly customers have been known to show up ready to throw hands (and sometimes chairs). Given its notoriety for late-night brawls, it’s exactly the type of setting that would make for a perfect backdrop in a fighting game like Tekken 8 — and apparently, fans have been inquiring. Longtime Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada posted on X this weekend asking what the deal is with all the Waffle House requests.
