BioShock Vita not happening anytime soon

BioShock on the PlayStation Vita won't be happening anytime soon, according to series creator Ken Levine.

Levine said a deal between publisher 2K Games and Sony still needs to be agreed before BioShock Vita is a reality.

"On the Vita game, 2K and Sony couldn't put a deal together when I last checked," Levine said on Twitter. "They seemed way more optimistic about this back in 2011.

"Wish I could do it myself, but lawyers and all that. I still love my Vita."

He also spoke about what a BioShock Vita game would be like, and it's not just a first-person shooter port.

"I was thinking a Final Fantasy Tactics style thing set in pre-fall Rapture.

"Something that would work well on the Vita and not be a compromise in any way. Also, as some know, I'm a turn based whore."

BioShock studio Irrational Games closed last year, but 2K Games still owns the rights to the franchise.
