Cloud Chamber has dismissed several employees while developing the next BioShock installment. Rod Fergusson will assume leadership of the studio following these workforce reductions. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier revealed these changes through social media platforms. The development team previously failed a critical milestone evaluation conducted by Take-Two Interactive. Fergusson replaces former studio head Kelley Gilmore, whom executives reassigned to publishing duties.
The veteran producer brings extensive experience rescuing problematic game developments. Fergusson previously salvaged BioShock Infinite during its troubled production phase. His portfolio demonstrates success with challenging projects like Gears of War and Diablo IV. The appointment represents his return to the BioShock franchise after years away from the series. Development difficulties have plagued the project since approximately 2015 across multiple leadership transitions.
