Bioshock is going to be made into a movie after the IP rights-holders, 2K and Take-Two Interactive, confirmed that they will be partnering with Netflix in an adaption of the Bioshock franchise.

"We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us," says the dramatic announcement tweet. "Netflix + BioShock. Would you kindly stay tuned?" While there aren't any more vital details disclosed, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has made an official statement (thanks, IGN). "Netflix is among the best and most forward-thinking storytellers in all of entertainment today. We are thrilled that they share our vision and commitment to the BioShock franchise, which is beloved by millions of fans around the world."

In the same statement, Zelnick confirmed that "2K’s Cloud Chamber studio is deep in active development on the next iteration of the series, and coupled with our partnership with Netflix, we remain highly confident that BioShock will continue to captivate and engage audiences like never before.”

The details surrounding Bioshock 4 are few and far between, with the only rumoured information about the game being the location, setting, and release window.
