BioShock 4 Delayed as Cloud Chamber Lays Off One-Third of Staff
Cloud Chamber, the studio behind the upcoming BioShock 4, has laid off over 80 employees—roughly one-third of its team—delaying the game's previously projected late 2026 or early 2027 release. Following a rocky internal review, 2K Games is reshaping the development direction, bringing aboard industry veteran Rod Fergusson (BioShock Infinite, Diablo) to lead the studio and refine core gameplay. President David Ismailer said core aspects are being reworked, calling for a leaner, more focused team.
