Judas, the upcoming first-person sci-fi shooter game by BioShock creator Ken Levine, received a story trailer in Wednesday’s PlayStation State of Play. Judas is the first game from Levine since 2014’s BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea, and from this story trailer, it has big BioShock energy. As ‘Judas’, the player will be the “driver of every event in a mysterious story” where each decision will influence the characters you befriend or stab in the back, according to the official press release from Ghost Story Games.
Judas is set aboard the Mayflower, a space-faring city where citizens are “trained to spy on one another and tear each other apart for the slightest offense.” Following a rebellion sparked by the player character prior to the game’s events, gamers will be forced to choose whether they “fix what [they] broke or leave it all to burn.” In the trailer, the player is seen shooting their way through a myriad of scenes and scenarios, from picking up a shotgun from a corpse (a scene seen in BioShock) to fighting mysterious metal machines.
Coming to the PS5, as well as PC and Xbox Series X/S, Judas does not have an official release date, but is in development according to the trailer. In February 2023’s quarterly report, Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Ghost Story Games, reported that the game was slated for release by March 2025. Watch the official Story Trailer below:
