Fans of classic first-person shooters have something new to cheer about. Ken Levin, the creative mind behind the acclaimed Bioshock series, has finally pulled back the curtain on his latest project, “Judas.” We just got our first peek at the game’s key visual, alongside some fresh details about its development.
It’s been a long three-year wait since “Judas” was first announced. Many wondered what was happening behind the scenes. Ken Levin and his team recently posted their very first Dev Log on the official game website. In this update, Levin apologized for the lengthy silence. He promised players they would get more regular news about the game’s progress from now on.
The most exciting part of this new Dev Log is how the game’s villains will work. Your actions as the player will directly decide who turns against you. There’s a group called “the Big 3.” At first, they are your allies. But as the story unfolds, your choices will push one of them to become your enemy. This foe will then gain new powers to challenge your goals.
Levin explained that he wants this shift from friend to enemy to hit hard. He hopes players will feel a real emotional punch. This is because you will get to know these characters very well throughout the game.
“In Judas, you will get to know these characters closely,” Levin stated in the Dev Log. “We want losing any one of them to feel like losing a friend.” He added that the team aims to make player decisions truly difficult. The Big 3 will all try to win you over. They might offer bribes, lend a hand in fights, or even spread gossip about the others. They’ll also share dark secrets about their rivals. It’s up to you to decide who deserves your trust.
Good news on the development front: the game has just finished its biggest playtest yet. Reports suggest everything went smoothly. However, the team isn’t ready to announce a release date just yet. They want to be absolutely sure the game is complete before making any promises.
“As everyone knows, game release dates often get pushed back,” Levin said. “We don’t want to change the launch date after we announce it.” He wrapped up by saying, “We know Judas won’t truly be a game until players experience it. That day is when all our hard work finally pays off.”
