With this leadership change, the BioShock series is poised for significant development and creative direction. This transition marks a notable shift in the gaming landscape, influencing future project outcomes.

Rod Fergusson, the head of the Diablo franchise for the last five years, is joining 2K Games to lead up the BioShock franchise. This is happening just a couple of weeks after Fergusson announced he was leaving Blizzard. He was also the studio head at Coalition once upon a time, where he oversaw the Gears of War franchise. Fergusson wrote on X that he will be &quot; overseeing development of the next BioShock game&quot; and will even have a say in that upcoming film adaptation for Netflix. The franchise is in dire need of a new steward, as it was reported earlier this month that 2K executives were unhappy with the direction of the upcoming sequel. The newly-hired franchise head says that he is &quot; deeply grateful for the work done so far&quot; and that he s &quot; committed to building a BioShock game we’ll be proud of. &quot; Would you kindly allow me to share some news?

This remaster was set to support modern frame rates and higher resolutions than the original title. In other words, there s a lot riding on this upcoming sequel. BioShock Infinite is over 12 years old at this point and the franchise has been mostly dormant in that time. Here s hoping that Fergusson can reinvigorate the series.

A man has been charged by prosecutors for allegedly employing a botnet in a cyberattack against X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this year. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of cybersecurity and the legal efforts to address cyber crimes. The case underscores the importance of vigilance in digital security infrastructure to prevent similar occurrences.

An Oregon man has been charged in a federal complaint today on allegations of operating a botnet for hire that conducted cyberattacks beginning at least in 2021. Ethan Foltz has been accused of running Rapper Bot, also known as Eleven Eleven Botnet and CowBot, and using it to execute coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The complaint claims that Rapper Bot was used to target victims in more than 80 countries, and since April 2025, it has reportedly conducted more than 370, 000 attacks against 18, 000 unique victims. &quot; Rapper Bot was one of the most powerful DDoS botnets to ever exist, &quot; US Attorney Michael J. Heyman for the District of Alaska said. &quot; Our office remains committed to disrupting and dismantling cyber criminals that threaten internet security and infrastructure in the District of Alaska and across the United States. &quot; One of Rapper Bot s alleged victims was X, which was taken down by a DDoS attack in March. At the time, owner Elon Musk made unsubstantiated claims about the attack being perpetrated by a &quot; large, coordinated group and/or a country&quot; and that it stemmed from IP addresses in Ukraine, although security researchers said it was possible the social network had left servers unsecured.
