Bioshock is, possibly, one of the best valued and popular brands of all those that 2K Games has in its portfolio and, after 14 years since the premiere of the first installment of the series, many users believe that it is time to make a remake in condition of the classic that goes beyond what the remastering of Bioshock The Collection offered. While 2K Games is deciding, a user has created his own version of Bioshock in Unreal Engine 5, and the result is quite impressive.
It is a project created by the modder noodlespagoodle, who in his day already presented a remastering of the original Bioshock in Unreal Engine 4. What he has done this time is to take that same project and migrate it to Unreal Engine 5 to be able to take advantage of some of new engine technologies. As you can see, the result is more than incredible since, because maintains original textures, characters, and user interface of the original game, it seems that we are facing a properly mastered remake.
The visual finish and the effects are so well done that we can almost overlook the difficulties of the performance and the playability that it presents. An aspect that, without a doubt, could be polished for future versions, although the modder has ensured that there will not be a public launch of this remastering of Bioshok in Unreal Engine 5. Because it is a registered trademark by 2K Games, You could face a legal problem.
As for the future of the Bioshock saga, we know that Cloud Chamber, a new 2K Games studio is taking over the series, but it seems that there are still several years left so we can see what it is working on. For the moment we have to wait and dream of a New generation bioshock on the level of this fan-made creation.
