It is also worth noting that the development studio began searching for a lead environment modeler in August. That particular job posting stated that Bioshock 4 will take place in an entirely new world. The team was also hiring for a cinematic artist with “Wes Anderson like precision and panache.”
Note that the original Bioshock and Bioshock 2 featured a hub based open world, as opposed to the more linear nature of Bioshock Infinite. These job postings hint at a return to the style of the 2007 original release.
What do you hope to see in Bioshock 4? Let us know in the comments.
