In a shocking announcement, Ken Levine took to the Irrational Games website to announce that Irrational Games is winding down. Here is a direct quote from the message:
“To meet the challenge ahead, I need to refocus my energy on a smaller team with a flatter structure and a more direct relationship with gamers. In many ways, it will be a return to how we started: a small team making games for the core gaming audience.
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. ”
While there are no details concerning the fate of the Bioshock license or what Ken Levine is going to do, it is clear there is a major change on the horizon. Stay tuned for more details.
