It has already been over a decade since the release of BioShock Infinite, the third entry in the iconic first-person action franchise, so it should come as no surprise that longtime fans are more than eager for any morsel of new information on the next title coming to the series, the unofficially named BioShock 4. Despite a tumultuous development, the latest leaks have finally given fresh crumbs that tease more about the next BioShock game, with updated insights on a core location and potentially important characters finally giving fans a renewed sense of optimism.
Multiple reports have indicated that BioShock 4 is in development hell, and there has been no official word on just how far along the game may be, though several statements from various individuals involved in the project have reassured fans that progress is being made. Between major leadership changes, failed internal reviews, and a development cycle that has seen no public updates since the game was first confirmed back in 2019, it’s understandable that audiences have resorted to minimizing their expectations while simply keeping their fingers crossed that BioShock 4 at least eventually sees the light of day in any capacity. However, there may be hope yet for BioShock fans, as new alleged leaks seem to indicate some sort of advancement in the game’s development.
