Geoff Keighley has revealed next month's Summer Game Fest live show will host the reveal of a new entry in one of 2K's "biggest and most beloved franchises". Given today's newly revealed sales milestones, the most likely options appear to be BioShock (43 million), Borderlands (89 million), or even Civilization (71 million). Another outside bet could be the Mafia series, which already has a new instalment confirmed to be in the works alongside BioShock.
Without giving any extra details, the Twitter account for Summer Game Fest simply tweeted: "2K plans to reveal the next iteration in one of 2K's biggest and most beloved franchises at Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 7."
While series creator Ken Levine is making Judas with his own external studio, a new BioShock was confirmed to be in development back in 2019, and would be worked on "for the next several years". A new Mafia game is also in the works, and it's unlikely we've seen the end of the strategy franchise Civilization. As such, the live showcase from Geoff Keighley at Summer Game Fest is where we'll find out what 2K has to reveal.

I'm hoping it's Borderlands 4.
Honestly, why not all 3? BioShock in the Arctic, Borderlands 4, and Civ 7. They're all in development, right? It's been a while for all those franchises.
Watch it be NBA 2K
Was there not a Mafia rumour doing the rounds a while ago?
@TicklefistCP damn u beat me to it š¤£
Really hoping it's Bioshock. Been so long since Bioshock has been relevant.
Gonna go with Borderlands as the movie comes out soon.
Hope itās Bioshock. Canāt stand Borderlands, Mafiaās ok, but Bioshock vs Judas is exactly what the industry needs right now. Letās see how much of Bioshock is Ken Levine in a literal sense.
Bioshock.borderlands or mafia would be amazing.any one of tbose games.is a win.word up son
Would really love a new bioshock game. Love all 3 of the bioshock games
Bioshock or Mafia would be ideal but I'd also take a Borderlands. Not much of a Civ guy but I think that has the most likely possibility.
If youād asked me years ago Iād have hoped for another Borderlands and Bioshock, but the Pre-Sequel was awful and I was severely disappointed in B3. Granted, I didnāt expect any to live up to B2 since itās one of my all-time favorite games, but I expected far better. Bioshock on the other hand is still one of the greatest series ever made and I will gladly welcome the official announcement of the Antarctica Bioshock game.
Finally ā that Battleborn sequel weāve all been waiting for.
Please, no more Borderlands. Bioshock has been effectively dead for over a decade. Give us another of those. I wouldn't turn my nose up at a reboot of the first.
@Odium but only the first bioshock is good
Any mainline Borderlands or Bioshock title would excite me.
I do quite like Bioshock, but I've had my fill of the franchise, and am content with them leaving it where it is. Judas can fill the void of something Bioshockesque for me as a new IP.
Not into Civ, and Borderlands is cool but I never really got into it.
Meanwhile I just went back to Mafia 2 recently, and I forgot how much I absolutely adore that game, even if realistically it's not like it's a 10/10 or anything. So I would be stoked to see a new Mafia game. I wonder what time and place they would do this time...
@nomither6 Bioshock Infinite was great. Two was the weakest but I think that game still had a lot of redeeming moments.
Heck yeah. I really hope either new borderland or bioshock 4
I'd be happy with any of them to be honest. All game franchises that I've enjoyed. Amd when I was kid I used to love Civ, and just strategy games in general
@nomither6 I have to respectfully disagree. I love Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. I can understand why most people didnāt like 2, but I didnāt hate it like most and I think the combat was a lot of fun in it. Bioshock is a masterpiece of a game, so I have no arguments there. I personally loved Infinite, I thought the story was really good, the lore was interesting, and the gameplay loop was a ton of fun. Also, in my opinion, the Burial at Sea DLC is single-handedly the best piece of DLC Iāve ever played.
@IamJT I completely agree. I understand why 2 is looked at as the worst, though I personally enjoyed it, but I donāt understand the Infinite hatred, I adored that game.
Definitely borderlands, after the failure of 3 and the success of wonderlands, it showed there's still huge interest in the borderlands
Bioshock would be good.
Mafia felt clunky to me but it WAS a great game.. Iām more stoked for Bioshock 4 or Borderlands tho.. hopefully itās not a sports game ffs.. so sick of even hearing about sports
They should dress up Geoff as a Little Sister for the announcement.
while a new boarderlands game would be great , its been longer since we've seen a bioshock game and there have been rumors a game has been in development for a few years. so hopefully we'll finally get to see it.
Bioshock or Mafia would be cool with me.
@Perturbator šššā ļø now that image is in my head.
Oh Bioshock! I wish I could play the OG Bioshock again for the first. Good atmosphere and music (I even bought the record)
Hopefully Civilization VII!
@NinjaNicky Borderlands 2 has bad humor too and 90% of it is outdated meme humor that wasn't even funny when the memes were fresh.
@Uromastryx 3 wasn't a failure though unless you count the story and writing but both of those things have been bad since Borderlands 2 which also had terrible writing.
