Former BioShock director Ken Levine has labeled one canned game the “best game” developer Irrational never got to make.
Last week, the Twitter account ‘Obscure Game Aesthetics’ posted a series of screenshots from Division 9, a canceled game that was in the works at BioShock studio Irrational. Levine has now responded to the screenshots and info in the tweet just below, labeling Division 9 the “best game we never got to make.”
As Obscure Horror Aesthetics notes, Division 9 featured “many similarities to Left 4 Dead,“Valve’s modern classic shooter, although it was conceptualized years earlier. In fact, Division 9 would barely make it beyond that stage before getting shut down, only ever existing as a proof of concept demo for studio management before it was canned.
Irrational could sadly never deliver on this theme, but maybeState of Decay 3can patch that zombie management-shaped hole in our hearts, whenever it eventually releases.
