2K Boston reverts to Irrational Games

irrationallogo

Mr Levine must be pleased. As you can see from IrrationalGames.com, 2K Boston's breathed its last.

No official reason has been given for the switch-back to the studio's former name, but, according to this Game Informer article, "It represents a renewed commitment to the studio's fans."

The site is currently just a countdown timer, but GI reports that you'll soon get community features, insight into the game creation process, and never-before-seen stuff about games like System Shock 2, Freedom Force, and BioShock.

Irrational has its name changed after it was acquired by 2K in 2006 in the run-up to BioShock's launch.

The studio is currently working on an unannounced game, headed by dev legends Ken Levine and Bill Gardner.
