Judas: Gameplay Overview of BioShock Creator's Next Game

If you haven't already watched our 75-minute, in-depth interview with Judas director Ken Levine about Judas and how its "narrative LEGO" idea builds off of what he did with BioShock and BioShock Infinite, be sure to check that out for additional context. But here you can get a look at all of the new gameplay that developer Ghost Story Games sent us to accompany the interview. Enjoy!

“It’s got no connections to BioShock”

And the entire fanbase did not believe that.

[voiceovershill]

A spiritual successor to Bioshock which was in itself a spiritual successor to SystemShock 2.

[brianj]

Shuts down a studio because hes tired of making bioshock games just to spend the next 10yrs making another bioshock game.

[bearlogg]

"So it's like Bioshock/Systemshock/Prey?"

*_My brother in christ they are the best immersive sims, the more the merrier_*

[theycallmechiefpiggum]

"You can HACK things!" "You have a gun in your right hand and an ability in your left!" "Choices you make affect the ending!" "Not every character is your friend and they have their own agendas!"

Yeah, um....would someone like to tell Ken he's spent a decade making Bioshock again?

[MOISTxPANDAx]

Not gonna spoil anything also proceeds to spoil everything

[andrewohoro]

You said during the interview that you didn’t want to spoil the traversal, then you spoiled it in this video…

4:06 definitely could see Elizabeth breaking through a portal at some point for a “backdoor pilot” for Bioshock: Infinite 2 aka Bioshock: Infinity.

[TheRealBossMoss]

Love Ken but the fact that they spent so long trying not to make System Shock 2 only to make System Shock 2 again is crazy. 😅

[jamsesh]

"This is just System Shock and Prey." Perfect! We don't have enough of that type of games coming out these days

[AlisonsteWWWart]

You don't have to tell us everything to the point of spoiling the story just show us gameplay

[guilhermefeijo]

bro shuts down an entire studio of talented people to do "artistic new things", vanishes for like 10 years and them present space bioshok with choices lol

[ricoaioa]

So its bioshock mixed with Prey, but even crazier? SOLD!

[Smellslikegelfling]

I'm sure the gameplay will be amazing, but this just looks like a remake of the original BioShock with less gore and a facelifted story line. The enemies also look goofy compared to all the advanced tech on the ship.

Bioshock and Infinite are probably my favourite single player games of all time

[boertush]

This screams bioshock in everything except its name

[gamma]

“I don’t want to spoil anything” my brother in Christ, it’s a Ken Levine game. If it even comes out, none of this shit will make the Final Cut.

[Rare_Breed]

So the combat is literally Bioshock with guns in your right hand and powers in your left so right trigger is pew pew and left trigger is abilities

[pwd]

2 major things to note:
#1: It's a roguelite
#2: Don't forget how much cooler the demos Levine showed for Infinite were compared to what we actually got.

[aortaplatinum]

I'm so glad multiple story choices and multiple endings are seemingly back after Infinite's deterministic story themes kept that from being a possibility, especially now with the three different AI personalities you have to deal with all at once. Like Bioshock strategy FPS gameplay but with Tokimeki Memorial's character interaction system. Though if you get bombed aboard the Mayflower it's probably a lot worse than one of the AIs spreading a rumor about you around high school.
