<p><span style="color: #000000;">Franchise creator Ken Levine has spoken out about the Bioshock Vita game for the first time. In a series of</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/IGLevine/status/486317495372873728">tweets</a>, <span style="color: #000000;">the co-founder of Irrational Games said that &#8221;I was thinking a Final Fantasy Tactics-style thing set in pre-fall Rapture. Something that would work well on the Vita and not be a compromise in any way. Also, as some know, I&#8217;m a turn-based whore.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It was Levine himself who announced the game when he took the stage at Sony&#8217;s 2011 E3 conference. Unfortunately, Bioshock Vita never entered full development. &#8221;2K and Sony couldn&#8217;t put a deal together when I last checked,&#8221; said Levine, &#8221;they seemed way more optimistic about this back in 2011.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Ken Levine&#8217;s last game was 2013&#8217;s Bioshock Infinite. He is currently working on an unknown digital project with the small team left at Irrational Games</span>.</p>
