The Game Awards 2022 kicked off by awarding Christopher Judge the award for Best Performance for his role as Kratos inGod of War Ragnarokand kept the excitement going by finally unveilingJudasto the world.
Ken Levineis most famous for his work on theBioShockfranchise, directing the original game as well asBioShock Infinite, both of which are considered landmark releases.

Judaswas revealed at The Game Awards with an impressive trailer that definitely gave offBioShockvibes. A single-player narrative-driven first-person shooter,Judasis aiming for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. In it, players take on the role of Judas, who has to find a way to escape a “disintegrating starship.” There’s still a lot left to be revealed aboutJudas' plot, but the game is meant to follow in the footsteps ofLevine’s previous titles, so it’s definitely somethingBioShockfans will want to keep an eye on.
What’s interesting is thatGhost Story Gamesis actually self-publishing the title. Ghost Story Games is a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, and since theBioShockgames are published by 2K, one could be forgiven for assuming that Ghost Story’s first project would be published by 2K as well. However, that is apparently not the case.
WhileJudasis not being published byBioShockpublisher 2K, the game still clearly has a lot in common with theBioShockfranchise. The gameplay on display in the trailer looks like a dead-ringer forBioShock, with environments that would look right at home inRapture. What seems to setJudasapart fromBioShocka bit is that it seems to be more sci-fi focused, with robotic characters and some kind of new technology that’s taking the place of Plasmids.
Based on what’s been shown so far,Judaslooks as though it will hugely appeal toBioShockfanswhenever it releases. Unfortunately, no release window forJudaswas announced at The Game Awards, but now that it’s finally been revealed, hopefully fans get to see more of the game sooner rather than later.
Judasis in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
