Rod Fergusson, known for his leadership on the Diablo and Gears of War franchises, has joined 2K Games as the head of the BioShock franchise. In his new role, Fergusson will oversee the development of the next BioShock game and contribute to the Netflix adaptation of the series.
2K Games had reportedly been dissatisfied with the direction of the upcoming BioShock sequel, resulting in restructuring at Cloud Chamber, the studio working on the game. Fergusson’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to steer the project back on a successful path.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Fergusson is committed to revitalizing the BioShock series, aiming to deliver a game that fans will love and a series that he is personally connected to, having been involved with BioShock Infinite over a decade ago.
The BioShock franchise is poised for an exciting revival under Fergusson’s leadership, not only in gaming but also with the anticipated Netflix adaptation.
