Ken Levine Has No Plans To Retire But Hopes To Make Judas Follow-Up Faster
BioShock designer Ken Levine has said he has no plans to retire, saying he wants to keep making games for as long as people will keep paying him to make them. Speaking to IGN, Levine said making games is “so central to my life,” and he doesn’t plan to walk away anytime soon.
There was a huge time gap of 10+ years between Levine’s last game, BioShock Infinite, and his new one, Judas. So if he keeps making games after Judas, he said he hopes the next title won’t need to bake as long before it’s ready.
“I have no interest in retiring. So as long as people continue to give me money to make games, I think I’m going to make them. And maybe one day I’ll have a change of heart. But it’s so central to my life,” he said. “Outside of my family and my wife and my dog and my friends, it is really where I find meaning and it’s how I express myself.”
