2K Games Hints at Surprise Remake in Developer’s Resume
The Hidden Clue in a Developer’s Resume
The clue was discovered in the CV section of a 3D artist and Motion Capture Animator CV of a person working for 2K Games.
A copy of the current status of a linked profile contains active and completed projects located under the “projects” tab; the list contains well-known titles such as the new Mafia game and the next part of BioShock.
However, one entry stands out: ”Upcoming Unannounced Remake. ” This teasing phrase was initially noticed by the MP1st – a video game news website and triggered a debate in the gaming community about which cherished series can be prepared for the contemporary update.
Ruling Out the Usual Suspects
Taking into consideration that 2K Games has a vast number of franchises the possibilities of a remake are vast.
Hence, some titles can be eliminated without any doubt. Annual sports franchises for example, as stated earlier get updated annually, and that alone makes the idea of a traditional remake irrelevant. This rules out general genres such as NBA 2K and WWE 2K etc out of the possibilities.
Existing Remakes and Remasters
Audiences have also noted that both the Mafia and BioShock series have been through the process of remaking and remastering before.
The Mafia series so far had the first game remade and the second game remastered. Likewise, there are remastered collections of BioShock games that players might find useful.
These recent updates increase the possibility that the “Upcoming Unannounced Remake” does not refer to any of these franchises.
Speculation and Excitement
Thinking of all the imaginable outcomes, several fans have thought about the remaster of the first Borderland game possible.
According to the rumors, the company behind Borderlands, gearbox, was expected to reveal a new project during the Summer Game Fest 2024.
When this did not happen, some people began to wonder whether the announcement might be somewhat of a remake of the first Borderlands game despite that a remastered version of the first sequel already exists.
Other possibilities of a remake might be some other titles from the game catalog of 2K Games. Regarding the upcoming games, some fans have proposed the conception of a reboot of the well-liked X-COM tactical turn-based game which was initially released in the year 1994.
Some wait for the next installment of Civilization and better graphics and dynamics penetrate the strategy game to a new audience.
What is coming next for 2K Games
The bad news is that besides an unquestionable new Mafia, the next BioShock title is in the pipeline, so 2K Games is set for a busy year.
But, the prospect of an unannounced remake holds an interesting streak for fans that will accompany the new version.
Finally, the phenomenal waiting gaming community is still left on the edge as to what this potential remake might look like.
The fact that some gamers have hypothesized and claimed that 2K Games is secretly developing a remake has intrigued people.
Its true name is still unknown, but dreams of a fresh look at an old favorite and the start of a successful series are very appealing.
While waiting for new information from 2K Games, the gaming public would be interested to know which of the old games is going to be revived.
