BioShock team to keynote Develop

Ken Levine, Christopher Kline, Nate Wells and Bill Gardner - four of the main people behind last year's award-winning BioShock - will be examining the success of the title in a special keynote session at this year's Develop Conference.

Levine, the creative director and founder of the Irrational Games, the studio behind BioShock which has since become 2K Australia, will lead the opening session on July 30.

"We are obviously delighted to be welcoming Ken and the team to Develop in Brighton," commented the event's director, Andy Lane. "Their passion and experience are genuinely inspirational and this session will be a fantastic start to a packed two days of knowledge building sessions."

The Develop Conference will take place in Brighton, UK, from July 29-31, and other names already confirmed include David Braben, Andy Eades and Jonathan Smith.
