BioShock is a narrative-driven action experience that allows players to do the impossible as they journey through an amazing, immersive and terrifying world.

Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically mutated citizens, the player comes to grips with the mysterious and fascinating world of Rapture, a distinct Art Deco underwater utopia gone mad. BioShock not only challenges players’ capacity to adapt and survive, but brings to question their values and commitment to the inhabitants of Rapture.

While there are no specific details yet, Variety is reporting that Vertigo Entertainment is partnering with Take-Two to produce the movie, which does not have a director or talent attached as of yet.

Back in 2008, Universal Studios revealed plans to bring Bioshock to the big screen, picking Gore Verbinski (director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) to direct/produce the BioShock movie, while John Logan (Academy Award-nominated writer of Gladiator, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd) in talks to do the screenplay.

Bioshock has sold nearly 40 million copies since the original game launched in 2007, followed by Bioshock 2 in 2010 and Bioshock Infinte in 2013. In 2017 the BioShock: The Collection brought the three BioShock titles together for the first time, coming to Nintendo Switch in 2020.

While we have not seen a new Bioshock title in almost a decade, in 2019 Take Two revealed that the next iteration of Bioshock is in development at Cloud Chamber Studios.
