“Judas” is an upcoming first person shooter (FPS) game developed by Ghost Story Games and directed by Ken Levine, the creative mind behind the acclaimed “Judas” series.
Set on a deteriorating starship called the Mayflower, players will step into the shoes of the mysterious protagonist Judas who faces a grim existence and must navigate complex relationships, making or breaking alliances with powerful forces in order to survive and deal with the ensuing turmoil. Although I am eagerly waiting for the release of this game and if you also want to know its release date and features, then let’s know directly from below.
Release Date and Platforms
The Judas game is planned to release between February 2025 and March 31, 2025.This development matches the claims made by Ghost Story Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive, which hopes to launch the game within its current year ending March 2025. Given the proximity of this date and the absence of a specific release announcement, there is a possibility that the launch could be postponed to a later date in 2025 or 2026. “Judas” will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms, accessible via both Steam and Epic Games Store.
