BioShock 4 has been the talk of the town for many years, but nothing concrete about the game has been shared by 2K since its initial reveal. The game is being led by the studio Cloud Chamber, a team that recently ramped up development for the project.

As the developer continues to work toward this project, fans have been able to piece together information through various job listings. The latest has been spotted by insider CindieStarLight on the Tech4Gamers forums, pointing to incredible visuals for the latest entry of the IP.

Why it matters: The franchise was last developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3, skipping a whole generation. Therefore, expectations are high for Cloud Chamber to deliver a major leap in visuals compared to BioShock Infinite.

As CindieStarlight points out, the studio is looking to hire an Environment Modeler. It states that the developer will work on delivering next-gen visuals for BioShock 4.

Deliver high-quality, jaw-dropping, next gen, AAA visuals.

According to this listing, Cloud Chamber intends to set a new visual bar for the franchise.

In the past, this series has always been renowned for its excellent visuals that combined visual fidelity and creative art styles. Cloud Chamber is likely to be well aware of these strengths, so fans can expect a similar push from the team.

Moreover, the game will be based on Unreal Engine 5. This should allow the team to harness technologies like Lumen and Nanite, further strengthening the overall look of this upcoming release.

Previously, a leaked BioShock 4 image showed a small glimpse of Cloud Chamber’s vision for the franchise.

While this screenshot came from a very early build, it showed plenty of potential. With the team being this ambitious, there’s reason to be excited about this new entry. Meanwhile, Ken Levine’s Judas is shaping up to be an incredible spiritual successor in its own right.
