Cloud Chamber, the 2K-owned studio behind the next "BioShock" game, is undergoing a round of layoffs amid delays for the next game.

Fergusson left Blizzard just a week after that shakeup, and while our prediction of a return to BioShock wasn't entirely serious, it was grounded in precedent: Back in 2012, Fergusson pulled the ripcord on Epic Games to join Irrational, where he helped put the finishing touches on BioShock Infinite.

It's also installing former Gears of War head and Diablo franchise lead Rod Fergusson as head of BioShock and Cloud Chamber at 2K. Fergusson departed Blizzard earlier this month with no word on why he left, or who would replace him.
