Bioshock Creator Ken Levine Reveals New Details About His Next Game Judas and Its Central Villainy Gameplay Mechanic
Judas introduces a unique Villainy system where player choices influence alliances and enemies among the Big 3, with over 100 speaking roles enhancing emotional engagement, Ghost Story Games said.
- The team behind Judas, led by Bioshock creator Ken Levine, published their initial developer update today, highlighting the game's narrative-focused Villainy mechanic.
- Judas' development began around 2017 and focuses on a dynamic where players influence which of three main characters becomes the villain based on their choices.
- The Big Three characters compete for player favor through actions like bribing, saving in battle, and sharing secrets, making player decisions impactful and challenging.
- Levine described Villainy as inspired by the Nemesis system, where the neglected character turns villain, gains unique powers, and acts against the player’s goals.
- Judas currently has no finalized release date as the team prioritizes polishing the game to meet expectations and maintain player-driven narrative complexity.
