Ken Levin, founder of the BioShock series, talked about his views on the upcoming BioShock 4 and clarified why he was not involved in the project.In a recent interview, Levin said that despite his deep respect for the series and the team involved in the development, he doesn’t think he needs to return to the world he helped to build.

Levin said that during the development of BioShock 2, the challenge of continuing to create in the BioShock universe reached its peak.At that time, he had different creative ambitions and felt as if he was competing with his past self.As for "Bioshock 4", Levin took the initiative to withdraw and let others take charge of the project.He stressed that his departure was not because of disagreement with the team, but because of personal perception – he has expressed everything he wanted to express through the series.

Instead, Levin devoted his energy to Judah, a project he currently runs at Ghost Story Games.He said that the creative freedom he had in directing "Judas" was one of the main reasons why he no longer sought to participate in "Bioshock" related work.Unlike making marginal contributions in the sequel, Levin enjoys being fully responsible for the direction of his work – as he said, in this way, any praise or criticism can be fairly directed to him alone.

Levine also reviews his past experiences in managing multiple projects at Irrational Games simultaneously, including Tribe: Revenge, Thunderbolt Group 4 and Free Force Against the Third Reich.He admitted that working on multiple projects at the same time was not something he wanted to do was not devoted to any project, and that he was reluctant to repeat it.Now, his focus is firmly on Judas, with the goal of striving for the greatest possibility of success for the game.

Although Levine was not involved in the development of BioShock 4, he expressed confidence in the strength of the team behind the project.He believes that Rod Ferguson, who is now in charge of the series, is a smart and capable leader who previously played an important role in assisting in the development of BioShock: Infinity.Levine finally sees the development of the BioShock series sequel as a positive step, and hopes that this new work will bring a special experience to players.
