Bioshock Creator, Irrational Games, Closing Down

[BeckoningZebra1]

Irrational Games is closing it's doors soon.

 

 

Today Co-founder of Irrational Games, Ken Levine, announced that Irrational Games will be shutting down.

 

Ken Levine made the announcement on Irrational Games website saying:

 

"I am winding down Irrational Games as you know it. I’ll be starting a smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor at Take-Two. That is going to mean parting ways with all but about fifteen members of the Irrational team. There’s no great way to lay people off, and our first concern is to make sure that the people who are leaving have as much support as we can give them during this transition."

 

The Employees will not be simply dropped off though, Ken Levine informed us that they will receive financial aid, as well as access to the studio to put together their portfolio. The studio will also hold a recruiting day with third party developers to allow departing staff other oppurtunities.

 

Ken Levine has yet to reveal what kind of project he will be working on in the future, but did reveal that the now much smaller studio will "focus exclusively on content delivered digitally."

 

Also note that Irrational Games will be handing Bioshock entirely over to 2k Games.
