(Image credit: Irrational Games) There's no doubt that this is an exciting new development. However, regarding such an influential video game franchise, there will be a lot of review and comparison to previous titles that Cloud Chamber will have to stick to. We first heard whispers about the Bioshock title in a Kotaku report in May 2018, the title, called ``Parkside''. - be worked under highly secret conditions. It looks like the secrecy will continue for some time, even though we now have an official word on the game. Although we may see a return to either Rapture or Columbia, we think we're more likely to see a different parameter, perhaps the one that takes full advantage of the enhanced power of next-gen consoles, the title almost certainly released on PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. . . However, there are plenty of reasons to be wary of this, with the botched releases of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Fallout 76 showing that even the most beloved franchises can lose face if a title falls short of expectations, though we hope these examples will suffice. to ensure that 2K makes Bioshock game fans deserve it. In fact, if we get the kind of compelling solo story the franchise is known for, we could see the seeds of one of the most exciting games for the next decade.
