Take-Two CEO Is 'Deeply Disappointed' by BioShock 4's Delays
Strauss Zelnick said the game hit dead ends that wasted time and money, and 2K brought in Rod Fergusson to help steady development.
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed disappointment regarding BioShock's prolonged development, which has been in the works since at least 2019, though he noted he is not surprised by the extended timeline.
- Restructuring at Cloud Chamber followed after Take-Two "wasted a lot of time and money chasing down some creative alleys that turned out to be dead ends," Zelnick acknowledged, prompting the addition of former Gears and Diablo boss Rod Fergusson.
- Zelnick is "disappointed" with progress, he said, emphasizing that he avoids surprise because he sees the inner workings firsthand and operates differently.
- Regarding the Borderlands Switch delay, the port is "doable," Zelnick said, insisting the issue is not technical but a matter of prioritizing other fixes.
- Despite setbacks, Zelnick is "feeling a lot better" about BioShock, he said, suggesting the game is in a good place and progress has speeded up recently.
