2K launches Cloud Chamber game studio to make the next BioShock game

2K Games has announced today the founding of Cloud Chamber, a new Take-Two Interactive development studio that will make the next BioShock game.

Based in Novato, California and Montréal, Québec, the studio is part of an effort to create new triple-A games — in this case to feed the pent-up demand for the BioShock franchise, which hasn’t had a big release since BioShock Infinite and its expansions came out in 2013 and 2014. Kelley Gimore, a 22-year industry veteran from Firaxis, will run the studio and be the first woman in 2K history to do so.
