Thankfully, it does sound like there are signs of life, as it has been claimed that something BioShock-related is going to be announced before the end of summer....

Summary Black Myth: Wukongis easily one of 2024’s best games, and even though it didn’t win any actual awards,it did win Player’s Voice at The Game Awards.

But now, for the first time, that crown might be challenged by Blitz Royale - a new mode introduced in June, which is intended to be temporary, has skyrocketed in player count well above Battle Royale and Zero Build....

Just last month, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchfordrefused to comment on how much Borderlands 4 would cost, saying that he doesn’t “know what the price is going to be”. Players were worried that it might joinMario Kart Worldas part of the $80 club, to which Pitchford responded,“If you’re a real fan, you’ll make it happen”.

They’re testaments to what you’re able to create when you’re making a game, and the connection that those games can make with people.
