Developers that have splintered off from the main team that worked on the classic 2007 PC/Mac/console game Bioshock have announced that they’ve formed a new studio. They’re also showing off their very first game that will eventually be making its way to mobile platforms including iOS.

Tell me this doesn’t make you a little sad.

It all just makes us a little sad.
