Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. is overhauling parts of the next BioShock game and shaking up management after senior executives expressed they were unhappy with its development, according to people familiar with the situation.
The new BioShock, which is being produced by Cloud Chamber, recently failed a review by executives at 2K Games, the publishing subsidiary of Take-Two, said the people, who weren’t authorized to discuss private information and asked not to be identified. The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months, the people said.
