The Game Awards 2022: Bioshock creator unveils new game, Judas

While Ken Levine is justifiably a video game legend after creating Bioshock, System Shock 2, and Freedom Force, it’s been a long time since we last saw a new game from him — in fact, 2023 marks a decade since he released Bioshock Infinite. And at The Game Awards this evening, we finally got a look at what he and his team at Ghost Story Games have been up to.

Judas is a single-player, “narrative first-person shooter” that’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. There’s no release date yet, but there is a trailer on YouTube, not to mention a couple of screenshots. There aren’t too many details beyond that, but between the visuals and the combat, it definitely brings his most famous series to mind.

Keep reading for the screenshots, the trailer (which you need to watch on YouTube), and the official press release, and keep an eye out for more details!

Ghost Story Games, the development studio led by game creator Ken Levine, today announced that Judas, an all-new single-player, narrative first-person shooter is in development for the PlayStation?5 computer entertainment system, Xbox Series X|S console systems, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
