Bioshock creator Ken Levine has provided a new update on Judas and the game's core gameplay feature: Villainy Villainy is a choice-driven system that affects who will become the villain out of the Big 3 The studio isn't ready to share a release date After over a year of radio silence, Bioshock creator Ken Levine has finally emerged to provide an update on his next game, Judas . In Ghost Story Games' first developer log , Levine said that the studio is focusing all its efforts on finishing the game and has decided to begin having a more direct communication with fans, which will offer more frequent updates than before. For this first update, Levine highlighted Villainy, a central feature of Judas that is essentially a choice-driven system that will affect who will become the game's villain out of three characters: Tom, Nefertiti, and Hope. "In Judas , your actions will attract members of the Big 3 to you as friends. But ignore one of them enough, and they become the VILLAIN," Levine explained. "From there, they will get access to a new suite of powers to subvert your actions and goals." Villainy is just one example of how the Big 3 can retaliate, and the "more dangerous and character-specific stuff" will be revealed at a later date. Levine also touched on the game's relationship system and once again compared it to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor 's reactive Nemesis system , explaining that the Big 3 will observe the player and have feelings about how you approach everything from combat, hacking, crafting, and how they interact with the other two characters. "In Judas , you're going to get to know these characters intimately . We want losing one of them to feel like losing a friend," he said. "We want to play with that dynamic, and we want that choice to be super hard. The Big 3 are all going to be competing for your favor and attention. "They can bribe you, save you in battle, talk s**t about the other characters, and share with you their darkest secrets. But eventually, you've got to decide who you trust and who you don't." Judas still doesn't have a release date, because Ghost Story Games is "not quite ready to finalize that," but the game is expected to launch on PC, PS5 , Xbox Series X , and Xbox Series S .
