I am winding down Irrational Games as you know it. I’ll be starting a smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor at Take-Two. |

The closure of the studio has been a shock to the gaming community, with Irrational’s last title “Bioshock Infinite” being one of the stand out titles in 2013. The last piece of downloadable content for Infinite, Burial at Sea, will be the final release for the developer in it’s current incarnation.
It’s worth sparing a thought for the team at Irrational who get left behind in the move, with Levine announcing that he only plans to take fifteen people with him to his next project. Efforts will be made for those left behind, with financial support and recruitment days being held by Irrational Games’ publisher, 2K Games, a subsidiary of gaming powerhouse Take-Two Interactive.
Good luck guys.
