Irrational Games

American video game developer

Irrational Games was an American video game developer which started in 1997 formed from three former Looking Glass Studios employees: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier. Take-Two Interactive acquired them in 2006. They were best known for two of the games in the BioShock series, as well as System Shock 2, Tribes: Vengeance, Freedom Force, and SWAT 4. In 2014, following the release of BioShock Infinite, Levine wanted to leave the AAA industry and work on smaller, narrative games, so he started a smaller studio within Take-Two with some Irrational employees, later named Ghost Story Games, while Take-Two closed down Irrational Games.
