Irrational Games no more: introducing 2K Boston, 2K Australia - Image 1 


An official announcement by Take-Two Interactive slapped us back to Timbuktu today, as the publisher wired news regarding a name change for Irrational Games. The developers behind the highly anticipated BioShock (Xbox 360, Windows PC) won't be known by their former collective name anymore. Welcome to the limelight, 2K Boston and 2K Australia.

Double-rooted Irrational Games have now been officially integrated into the 2K Games label (and family), claimed 2K Games. The move was quickly followed with the knighting of the Boston, Massachusetts headquarters as 2K Boston and the second studio in Canberra, Australia as 2K Australia. "Following their incredible efforts in bringing BioShock to life, we are proud to make the newly renamed Irrational Games studios a cornerstone of our game development family," said Christoph Harmann, President of 2K.

Just a little while earlier, Irrational Games 2k Boston and 2K Australia had rendered the final mastercopy of BioShock for mass production, and even before it can ship to shelves it has become one of the must-have games for Xbox 360 and Windows gamers worldwide.

They should have kept the original name. People don't give a damn about 2K as a label. At least Bioshock is going out before things get screwed up too badly.
