The next game from the creator of BioShock aims to be something more than a rehash of BioShock

Judas, the next title developed by Ken Levine, has captured the attention of players due to its similarities with the famous BioShock franchise. With a gameplay style that integrates firearms and powers in a dystopian context, many have instantly linked this new project to the memorably unsettling experiences of Rapture and Columbine. However, Levine, in a recent interview, emphasizes that there will be “radically different” elements in Judas that will set it apart from his previous work.

Judas wants to find his own identity

Levine has mentioned that, although the gameplay includes an arsenal of weapons and abilities that players will be able to use, the game mechanics will develop in novel ways. “The way the world has been decorated, how encounters appear, and how you choose paths in the game is something we’ve never done before,” he commented, suggesting that these innovations could redefine the player experience. One of the highlights is the narrative development approach he describes as narrative Legos, where player decisions will impact the story, allowing some events to fall outside the main experience.

Additionally, Levine has stated that Judas will follow a traditional business model, without online components or micropayments. “The philosophy behind this is that players will be able to buy the game and have it complete,” emphasizing his commitment to creating an authentic and satisfying gaming experience. However, the official release date has not yet been announced, and many details about the gameplay and the game’s environment remain a mystery.

Finally, it is mentioned that some features of the game will be inspired by the Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, promoting deep emotional relationships with a group of protagonists. Overall, the anticipation for Judas continues to grow, although it is still unknown when players will be able to immerse themselves in its dystopian world.
