Rumored BioShock 4 screenshot shows off some new powers and a very punchy-looking shotgun
Booker would be proud

An apparent early 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioShock 4 screenshot has 🧸leaked, offering a look at UI elements, various powers,💦 and a punchy shotgun.
The image, which was originally shared by , reportedly comes from "a 2K visua⛦l artist," but the outlet isn't sharing the name or online profile of the artist "for the sake of privacy." It's also thought to be ꧃from a 2021 build of the game, so there's every chance it's not entirely up to date.
The picture doesn't give away much. Visually, the main event is the central object, which suggests something of a return to the series' classic art-deco look, and also seems to be holding up a flaming sphere. There are so many things that this could be, so ༒few of which might still be present in the game all these years later, that I'm not prepared to even guess at what's going on here.
What's a little more interesting, however, is the stuff around the edges. There's a very punchy-looking weapon, dubbed the 'Ricochet Shotgun', which comes complete with a big fat barrel and some pleasing glowing elements that beef it up nicely. On the other side, there's what appears to be three powers, reminiscent of the plasmids and vigors from previ👍ous BioShock games.
A magnet, a lightning bolt, and a stopwatch all feature in the icons attached to those powers. I'm a little more prepared to take a guess at what's going on with those - one power likely pulls either enemies or metal objects towards the player, while the lightning bolt seems likely to d𓂃eal some decent electric damage. Given the stopwatch symbol's activation via both the LB and RB buttons, it looks like a more powerful ability, and I'd suggest it's probably bullet time.
As ever, early in-progress screenshots - particularly those that are hard to even identify - are rarely indicative of the final project, and much is likely to have changed by the time BioShock 4 actually arrives. There's still no real sense of when that might be - it's been four years since the game's announcement, but developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cloud🎃 Chamber recently said it was "rampᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing up" development. Either way, the team seems likely to be beaten to the punch by original series creator Ken Levine, whose new game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Judas, is set to launch ♐by March 2025.
Levine recently revealed that BioShock was nearly canceled just before launch, and even getting it off the ground in the fist place was a struggle.
