Following Ken Levine’s message earlier this week about the major changes going on at Irrational Games, Take-Two has offered up their own statement on the matter (via GI.Biz):
We’ve enjoyed a long and productive working relationship with Ken and are thrilled that he is pursuing his new creative endeavor with Take-Two. Given Ken’s plans for this exciting new project, Take-Two determined that the best approach for the remaining Irrational Games staff would be to find internal career opportunities for as many as possible, and to provide placement assistance to those who would be leaving our Company.
With Ken Levine and Irrational Games’ focus changing, this does leave the status of BioShock for PlayStation Vita even more up in the air. Unfortunately, when CVG contacted 2K (the new leaders of the BioShock universe) they were told that there’s ‘no update’ on the status of the project.
If any details surface regarding whether or not BioShock for PlayStation Vita is alive or dead, we’ll let you know.
