According to Game Rant, many are wondering what Levine and the team have been creating, but the new studio is not ready to discuss its first project just yet. There have been a few hints, however, as the team describes itself as being dedicated to creating immersive story-driven experiences for fans who love games that provide a bit of a challenge. Ghost Story's mission statement also name drops "BioShock," which arguably the highest profile game many of its staff have ever worked on. However, the studio makes it clear that they are no longer involved with that franchise.

Levine and friends have been quietly working on their next project for a couple of years and are now hiring to fill a couple of key positions, including a senior designer and senior level builder. As for "BioShock," publisher 2K received the rights to develop new games in the franchise when Levine dissolved Irrational.
