The long‑awaited new game from BioShock creator Ken Levine may finally be heading towards launch. Updates on Judas have been quiet since its reveal in 2022, but new job postings indicate that playtests have begun and that marketing is set to ramp up.

As spotted by fans on Reddit, Ghost Story Games is now hiring a Player Experience & Community Manager. According to the job listing, the role involves coordinating both internal and external playtests, supporting content creators, and managing community‑facing communication. This suggests that Judas has entered a broader testing phase and that the studio is preparing for more public announcements.

Judas has been in development for many years and is Levine’s first project since BioShock Infinite. The game is a first‑person, narrative‑driven sci‑fi shooter built around Levine’s “narrative Legos” system, designed to create highly reactive story paths and replayability.

The new community manager role goes beyond standard social media duties, with responsibilities that include onboarding playtesters and supporting virtual and in‑person testing setups. These are typically late‑stage development tasks, indicating that Ghost Story Games is moving closer to launch.

Take‑Two previously suggested that Judas would release by March 2025, but delays have been inevitable. It is still unclear exactly when the game will come out, but as shown by the job listings, things appear to be ramping up towards a 2027 launch window.

KitGuru Says: After years of quiet development, Judas appears to be entering its final stretch of development. Hopefully by this time next year, we'll be playing the game for ourselves.

According to Take-Two, Ghost Story Games is now targeting a launch between April 27 and March 2029, which incidentally is the same timeline as 31st Union's Project ETHOS. That means we might have to wait up to nearly three more years to play a game that has been in development at least since 2014. Levine first outlined his "Narrative LEGOs" design philosophy in a GDC 2014 talk and later discussed it again in late […]

The BioShock movie adaptation has been in discussion for a long time. Less than a year after the original game's debut, publisher Take-Two Interactive announced that it had signed a deal with Universal Studios for a film that would have been directed by Gore Verbinski (The Ring, the first three Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Lone Ranger) and written by John Logan (Gladiator, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Skyfall, and Spectre). The tentative theatrical release window was 2010, but the project kept being put on hold for various concerns, including budget and the director's insistence on […]
