Ken Levine made an announcement today, and it wasn't to reveal a new game. Alex joins me to digest the news.

Why can't they make another Bioshock? I thought Infinite effectively opened the floodgates for all sorts of games in the same universe. In fact, I anticipated a number of smaller projects with shorter stories after Infinite (DLC notwithstanding).

They could explore more interesting concepts in less time, and deliver them digitally with lower costs. That seems to be where games are going anyway.

It sounds like Kevin Levine is saying "This has become bloated" and [he] wants to work with a smaller, more flexible team.

WHAT. Well, that wraps up Bioshock forever. I hope the last piece of Bioshock content provides some closure.

Can't wait to see what Mr. Levine and his team makes and hope the best for all those who were laid off.
