2K Australia

Irrational Games Australia and Boston, was founded in 1997 by Jonathan Chey and Ken Levine, and was the multi award winning developer of titles such as System Shock II, Swat 4 and Freedom Force. In October 2005, Irrational Games became part of the 2K family, being bought out by Take 2 Interactive.

We recently underwent a rebranding and became 2K Australia and 2K Boston with the launch of the critically acclaimed BioShock.

We’re dedicated to producing games that set the bar in immersive environments, player choice, deep gameplay and narrative. Although we’re specialists in first-person shooters, we also haven’t been afraid to branch out into other genres like tactical RPGs.

We have studios in Boston, MA and Canberra, Australia. Since 2005 we’ve been part of the Take 2 family and are rapidly expanding to get ready for some genre defining titles on both the new console platforms and the PC.

We believe in empowering our employees to contribute creatively and, by doing so, moving the start of the art with each game we produce. We think making games should be fun as well as financially and creatively rewarding.
