Ken Levine reveals new game Judas will feature open-ended gameplay and character memory

Ken Levine, known for the Bioshock series, is developing a new game called Judas at Ghost Story Games. Unlike his previous titles, Judas features a more open-ended environment aboard a colony ship, allowing for greater player agency and character interactions. In Judas, characters will remember players' actions and respond accordingly, creating a more dynamic narrative. Levine aims to avoid random quest assignments, focusing instead on meaningful consequences based on player choices. Levine describes previous Bioshock games as "corridors" with limited exploration. He hopes Judas will offer a richer experience, reflecting a persistent society where characters have long memories and complex relationships with players.
