Ken Levine Discusses Departure from BioShock Series

Veteran game developer Ken Levine stepped away from the BioShock series after 2013's BioShock Infinite, and while the series is going ahead with BioShock 4, it's doing so without him.

Ken Levine explained his decision to step away from the BioShock series after BioShock Infinite to work on a different game called Judas. Despite BioShock's significance to him, Levine felt he had explored that world enough and didn't want to be defined solely by the franchise. He emphasized the importance of not letting a franchise own you and the need to challenge oneself in new ways. Levine expressed his continued love for BioShock and his anticipation for the future of the series without his involvement.
