Bioshock creator Ken Levine has stepped out from the shadows to remind the world about his next project Judas, the first-person action adventure game from Ghost Story Games, through a new dev blog.
This post revealed a new feature called Villainy – a player-choice driven system that modifies who’ll become an antagonist throughout the game. Basically, you start off with “the big three” being on good terms, but if you ignore one of them for too long they get cross and try to kill you.
The post continues with Levine laying praise on Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system, and how it allowed the player to develop relationships with various orcs. This it seems is a substantial source of inspiration for the Villainy system in Judas, with one of the Big Three turning nasty feeling like “losing a friend”.

There’s still no release date for Judas. First revealed back in 2022, it’s been largely silent on the Judas front ever since. Though, with an indication that more dev blogs are on the way, maybe we’re steering a little closer to a world with Judas in it. That’ll at the very least mark one of those mystery gameshow titles off the “what ever happened to…” list.
