'BioShock' creator hiring for new game

BioShock creator Ken Levine has started hiring talent to work on 2K Boston's new first-person-shooter.

Back in May, it was revealed that Levine is not involved with the development of BioShock 2, but is instead "focused on making our next big project at 2K Boston".

According to three job advertisements listed by the studio, his team is now searching for a principal combat designer, a level designer and a multiplayer level designer for the project.

In the postings, 2K Boston said that it does not believe in developing games that "can't go head-to-head with the big boys", and so successful applicants will have to provide "industry-changing" ideas that will "blow gamers' minds".

Levine had previously told GameSpot that the mystery project will be a "huge surprise" to gamers and that it will include elements that the BioShock team has "never really explored in depth before".

"In the end, our new project is something we're champing at the bit to talk about," he added.

"But we're not showing it to anybody and won't be for some time. In fact, the only way to get a look at it is to interview for a job with us."
