Publisher Take-Two has said that the BioShock series is still a "permanent franchise" despite last year closing down developer Irrational Games.

Although studio head Ken Levine stayed with the publisher, the majority of talent were sacked and the franchise handed over to 2K Games in California.

"The franchise is in the hands of 2K," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said last week, reports Gamespot.
