BioShock 4 publisher 2K Games might be planning to reveal the highly-anticipated game very soon. BioShock 4 was first announced to be in development back in 2019, but official information is still scarce about its gameplay and how its story fits into the franchise's universe so far.
There have been a number of rumors about BioShock 4's setting, which is said to be the Antarctic cities of Aurora and Borealis. They're allegedly completely separate from Rapture and Columbia, which could either signal a new era for the BioShock franchise or make use of the previous games' dimension-hopping plot points. Meanwhile, the protagonist and potential returning characters, like Big Daddy or another version of Elizabeth, are still a mystery.

PostsFollowing previous reports that BioShock 4 could be announced soon, it seems that 2K Games might be working on an interactive ARG to make the big reveal. In a Twitter post, leaker Kurakasis claimed that the publisher had an ARG planned that featured Rapture, but it was unclear whether it would be connected to the fourth game or the upcoming BioShock film. If that's true, it would be interesting to see how the ARG would transition from a Rapture exploration to the revelation of Aurora and Borealis.
When Will BioShock 4 Be Revealed?
CloseAmid the excitement for BioShock 4's eventual reveal, there's still no official date as to when Cloud Chamber and 2K plan to make the announcement. It's possible that a summer announcement might be on the horizon, which could include other projects. There have been reports in the past that BioShock 4 was in development hell due to alleged management issues and other struggles, which pushed back the game's supposed planned 2025 release. At the same time, there have also been encouraging updates about the game's development thanks to job listings that seemed to paint a picture of what BioShock 4 could become, especially in terms of its potential gameplay mechanics.
It's possible that BioShock 4 might launch sometime in the next few years if its developers manage to resolve its alleged internal issues. BioShock fans can also look forward to the Netflix movie adaptation, which is said to be as close to the original game as possible.
