BioShock 4 Has an Elden Ring Problem | Game Rant

BioShock 4 is the next title in the series after a long hiatus after BioShock Infinite. For fans of the series, it's been a long wait for a new title, and gamers will likely have to wait a bit longer before the title is released. As anticipated as BioShock 4 is, however, it's currently similar to From Software's upcoming RPG Elden Ring before its recent trailer and new information. Gamers are excited at the prospect of a new BioShock title, but at the moment, there is no concrete information about the title despite its significant levels of hype.

Much to the delight of fans, Elden Ring was finally revealed with a gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest this year. This followed a period of two years of silence after its initial announcement, which saw fans craft their own lore and muse about the future of the game. Elden Ring has a release date set for January and a gameplay trailer released, and gamers are excited to finally experience it. It's unknown when BioShock 4 will have a formal reveal, let alone a release date, though fans of the series are still very excited for it.

BioShock 4 is officially in development with a developer known as Cloud Chamber. This team is comprised of series veterans, which should be good news for fans of the series. The general expectation is that BioShock 4 is a long way off releasing, though this hasn't slowed the hype train following the game. BioShock 4 will be the first installment in the series since 2013's BioShock Infinite.

The franchise has been enduringly popular, and a lengthy wait has only contributed to player's excitement for the next game in the series. The franchise's popularity alone has solidified a strong following for BioShock 4, but it's perhaps the small amount of information that is known about the game that has enhanced its fanfare.

Thanks to job listings for Cloud Chamber, players have some knowledge about what BioShock 4 could be like. It's been suggested by job vacancies that the title will feature an open-world environment, Unreal Engine 5, and even include some RPG elements. It should be noted that while this information comes from job listings for the developer, things could easily be subject to change, as with a lot of projects in the gaming industry. While there is arguably more information available about BioShock 4 than Elden Ring before its recent exhibition, it's easy to see there are some parallels between the games.

While Elden Ring is an original IP, it comes from a series of games with a strong legacy. The Soulsborne series is extremely popular and is considered by many to have revolutionized difficulty in gaming in recent years. While BioShock encompasses a different genre, it's another enduringly popular franchise whose latest entry is shrouded in mystery. Like Elden Ring, BioShock 4 has been the subject of much speculation and it's likely to continue until an official reveal for the game is made.

Fans will undoubtedly continue speculating about the beloved series and crafting theories, much like what fans have accomplished with the fake Elden Ring lore. It's unknown when BioShock 4 might be given the full reveal treatment, but hopefully, for fans, the game can match the significant hype that follows it.

BioShock 4 is currently in development.
