Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is just as disappointed as the rest of us when it comes to the never-ending development of the next BioShock<\/a> game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For years, a team known as Cloud Chamber has been working on what is tentatively referred to as BioShock 4. While some games can take as many as four or five years to make, BioShock 4 has been in the works since at least 2019, when the project was announced, but it has likely been even longer than that. Cloud Chamber went through some restructuring last year<\/a> to get BioShock 4 on track for release, but no one knows when it is expected to come out.<\/p>\n

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked by Game File’s Stephen Totilo<\/a> if he was surprised by how long it has taken to make BioShock 4. He noted that it’s hard to be surprised when he sees the inner workings firsthand, but he is disappointed.<\/p>\n

“Surprised? Never,\u201d said Zelnick. \u201cThink about what \u2018surprise\u2019 implies,\u201d Zelnick said. \u201cThat\u2019s like, one day, everything\u2019s awesome, and the next day, I\u2019m like, \u2018Holy shit.\u2019 And I don\u2019t run the business that way. But I think if you\u2019re saying \u2018disappointed,\u2019 yes. Deeply disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zelnick also addressed why it is taking so long and noted that BioShock 4 may have gone down some paths that didn’t pan out, resulting in setbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we, in retrospect, wasted a lot of time and money chasing down some creative alleys that turned out to be dead ends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
