Overview

• Bloomberg reports more than 80 roles were cut at Cloud Chamber from a team of roughly 250, though 2K has not confirmed a number.
• Veteran producer Rod Fergusson has been named Head of the BioShock franchise, taking charge of Cloud Chamber and overseeing extensions such as the in‑development Netflix film.
• The shake‑up follows an internal publisher review that identified narrative weaknesses, with prior moves including the exit of studio head Kelley Gilmore and the creative director shifting to publishing.
• In an internal memo, 2K said core gameplay foundations remain as the team is reduced to focus on reworking key BioShock elements and given more development time, with severance and career support offered to those affected.
• Reporting indicates the internal target of late 2026 or early 2027 has slipped, with sources now pointing to mid‑to‑late 2027 or later, while Take‑Two maintains the project will ship.
