There is little known of\u00a0BioShock 4<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>at the moment, but there is cause to suggest that the new game will take players to a new world.\u00a0BioShock 4<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is currently in development for next-generation systems from a new developer, Cloud Chamber. Job vacancies for various positions at Cloud Chamber have hinted towards a new setting that hasn’t been realized before in the\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>multiverse. The game is presumably years away from release, but that hasn’t stopped fan speculation regarding what the new title will look like.<\/p>\n

There is currently nothing known about the setting for\u00a0BioShock 4<\/em>,\u00a0but recently Shannon Woodward (known for her role as Dina in\u00a0The Last of Us Part 2<\/em><\/a>)\u00a0has mentioned her support for the new\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>game to be set in space. This has gone on to fuel further fan speculation, especially considering how little is known of the upcoming game. A space adventure isn’t too hard to believe and could be seen by some fans as a natural next step.\u00a0BioShock 1\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a02\u00a0<\/em>were set in the underwater city of Rapture,\u00a0BioShock Infinite\u00a0<\/em>took to the sky with Columbia, and a space setting now could fit the series perfectly.<\/p>\n

A new\u00a0Bioshock\u00a0<\/em>game is hotly anticipated, and it hands a huge challenge to the new developer, Cloud Chamber.<\/a>\u00a0There is a lot of pressure on the developer to craft something comparably good to the older games in the series. This is also going to be the first game in the franchise without its creator, Ken Levine, overseeing the project. Going in a radically different direction might be the best course of action for the developer, who is surely looking to craft a unique experience for fans. A space setting would be different enough from what has come before to discourage too much comparison, while also allowing Cloud Chamber to work in an entirely new space.<\/p>\n

A space-set game could also see\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>take some inspiration from its spiritual predecessor,\u00a0<\/a>System Shock<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>The\u00a0System Shock\u00a0<\/em>games were hugely influential, and went on to spawn the\u00a0Deus Ex\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>series. A new\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>title would not only give Cloud Chamber the room to work with something new, but also create a game in reverence to\u00a0the series’ roots. While some could argue this would be a step backward for the series, it’s easy to see the\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>game hallmarks working in a setting like space while retaining individuality.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Beyond the setting and story, there is similarly little known about what the gameplay in\u00a0BioShock 4\u00a0<\/em>will be like.\u00a0BioShock 4\u00a0<\/em><\/a>looks set to retain the first-person perspective<\/a>, but not much more is known or can even be presumed at the moment. A space-set game offers the developer a huge opportunity to change up the formula and get creative with the sci-fi environment. The vigors and plasmids in the series so far have been enjoyable additions to combat and have been creative in their design.<\/p>\n

Sci-fi-styled powers could see the developers allowing players to play with gravity, the cold of space, and anything else that ties into the setting.\u00a0It would be in keeping with the\u00a0BioShock\u00a0<\/em>style to have access to such supernatural powers, while also giving the developer a chance to do something different.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The multiverse twist in\u00a0<\/a>BioShock Infinite<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>handed the series an interesting challenge. As established in the last game, there is a multiverse and there’s always a man, a city, and a lighthouse. While this could be seen as a creative constraint, Cloud Chamber could adapt this template for the space setting. Like the games that have come before, space could be where “the man” goes to build his city, away from the rest of society where he can express his own political ideologies.<\/p>\n

The lighthouse could still act as the starting point for the protagonist, launching them into space to where this new society dwells. Arguably, it could be better for Cloud Chamber to work around the template as established in the older games, but it seems more than manageable if they must adhere strictly to the rules of the multiverse.<\/p>\n

BioShock\u00a0<\/em><\/a>has enough potential to fit into many different genres<\/a>\u00a0but perhaps space makes the most sense as a next step. While nothing has been confirmed, players are likely to see a new, undiscovered world in\u00a0BioShock 4<\/em>. Space could be the right setting for the game, not only from a gameplay and narrative perspective, but for Cloud Chamber to craft something unique. Returning to a familiar setting would be welcomed by fans, but going somewhere new might be better for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

BioShock 4\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is currently in development.<\/p>\n
