Who We Are:
Ghost Story is a self-publishing game development studio owned by Take-Two Interactive located in the greater-Boston area. Our studio is dedicated to making immersive story driven games for gamers that like a challenge. We were founded by a group of former Irrational Games developers that were involved with the development and release of highly rated games, System Shock 2, BioShock and BioShock Infinite.
Ghost Story is working on a new immersive, sci-fi based FPS with RPG elements. We haven’t announced any details yet because we are still in production.
