![]() ![]() Considering Bioshock’s bread and butter is often its writing, it would seem a story for Bioshock 4 is not even set in stone yet. ![]() That game is reportedly open world and it’s also still hiring writers. Let’s put some puzzle pieces together: 2K created a new studio in 2019 called Cloud Chamber to create the next Bioshock game, which was announced at the time as now in development. Just a couple of months ago, they were hiring a writer for an open-world setting. There’s always the chance that Bioshock 4, or whatever it’s called, could come out in 2022, but that seems extremely unlikely. ![]() Sure, there are some listings in the datamine that quite obviously read as “no way” - looking at you Bioshock 2022, which seemingly alludes to the new Bioshock game announced in late 2019 as coming from 2K’s new Cloud Chamber studio. Play Why The Listings Aren't All That They Seem Nvidia said in a statement to IGN that it took immediate action to remove access to the internal list and that “no confidential game builds or personal information were exposed.” So that’s that, right? Well, in the landscape of games, it doesn’t take much for a leak, rumor, or datamine finding to take off and this week’s Nvidia datamined listings are no different. Nvidia responded the following day on September 14 that the list of datamined games were listings “used only for internal tracking and testing,” adding that some titles included are “speculative” and don’t constitute “confirmation nor an announcement of any game.” On the surface, it seemed that way, but now we know that’s not necessarily the case. Surely the leak must be legitimate if it’s coming by way of such a massive, prominent, and most importantly, credible company, right? Nvidia's Response to the Datamine GeForce Now is Nvidia’s games streaming service not unlike Google Stadia or Amazon Luna. It wasn’t a shoddy screenshot of a game playing on a monitor or a supposed list of things to come - it was a list of game listings made within Nvidia’s GeForce Now database. To be fair, the leak did appear quite believable at first glance. The NVIDIA employee who probably wrote his wishlist in the placeholder GeForce Now list rn: /neyFwnCHTd- Miss Darkness September 13, 2021 Over on Twitter, things are hovering between "THIS IS NOT A DRILL LEAK CONFIRMED" and "ehh who knows, these might just be placeholders." There's also those taking this opportunity to make a good meme or two out of the situation. The most common takeaway from the commenters on that original reddit post is that if this turns out to be huge, it might be one of the biggest leaks in gaming history, but that there's a good chance this isn't what it seems. There are also some, like redditor howmadstha, who note that titles like Bioshock 2022 seem fake and take away some of the credibility that this datamine found real games, though. However, many of the commenters are taking this leak as 100% true. It's a fun poke at the desire many have to see Bloodborne come to PC and there are many other comments like it. The top comment is "No Bloodborne? It must be legitimate," and it comes by way of redditor KingBroly. The original post on Reddit has nearly 2000 comments. It didn't take long for this leak to take off. ![]()
