Taking the assets fromBioShock,Youtuber noodlespagoodle released a fan-made trailer that not only shows us what the game could look like almost 20-years on but also gives us a completely reimagined side story with new characters, lore, and locations.

From the ocean beyond the windows to the manic splicers and familiar radio sounds, it feels like going home despite noodlespagoodle creating a brand-new story.
“I… I’m speechless,” one userwrote.
“It’s beautiful, and everything I hope for inBioShock 4. Everything is so smooth and realistic, like I could reach in and touch the walls and see every scratch and bullet ding in them.”
