A rumored BioShock 4 leak has shared numerous details of the game’s release window, setting, art, and prior scheduled announcements from 2K. However, even the leaker is dubious of some of the information shared, for a game that has been allegedly codenamed Bioshock Isolation or Project Parkside in the past. While confident about a few details, the leaker warns that you should “not take most of this information at face value.”
What info in this BioShock 4 leak is credible
EVERYTHING I KNOW AND HEARD ABOUT THE NEW BIOSHOCK
Do not take most of this information at face value, I thought for a long time whether it was worth sharing all of this at all but a large number of people crave for at least some information from me.

Sifting through all the content from the leaker @oopsleaks on Twitter (posted above), it’s difficult to verify what has been stated. The user is “no longer in touch with his original source,” so it’s been tough for them to confirm a wealth of information.
All told, what has been confirmed by the source, or what the leaker says has been confirmed at least, is that the next Bioshock will be set in Antarctica and that the logo and several internal presentation slides (posted earlier from the account) from a 2020 Slack data breach are legitimate. That said, the next Bioshock could have changed since then, so even if this info was confirmed at the time, it may not be accurate now.
As for details that are less credible, the leaker believes that the release window for the new Bioshock will be “no later than then end of 2024” according to Take-Two’s reports and is “not a PS5 exclusive.” It will apparently have a female protagonist as well as an open world with a story that has multiple endings and cameos from “familiar characters (or their alternative versions).” Its artstyle is said to be similar to Deathloop with “1960’s The British Invasion and countercultures vibes.” The game was supposedly meant to be announced at The Game Awards in 2021, but it was delayed due to staff reductions inside the studio. These development problems also delayed the announcement of the game’s Netflix adaptation.
The Twitter thread also has additional information on the game’s story, though even the leaker thinks that it’s most likely “complete bull****.” Even so, for the sake of spoilers we won’t get into it here in case they are true.
In other news, a new TMNT game is reportedly set to release in 2023, and House of the Dragon episode 3 has introduced Rhaenyra Targaryen’s future husband.
