BioShock Vita remains in the paper design stage despite Irrational Games having completed BioShock Infinite, according to studio founder Ken Levine.

While the game was announced during Sony's E3 press conference in June 2011, when Levine said it's "its own thing being built from the ground up", development has yet to begin.

He told IGN: "That's out of my hands right now, that's with the business guys negotiating that business deal and trying to make it work for both sides.

"I've got my fingers crossed that that's going to happen because it's something I want to do but until somebody starts signing the cheques, there's nothing I can do... Hopefully it will come to fruition."

Levine said in October 2011 that Irrational could "potentially" outsource development of BioShock Vita, but only if the studio can ensure it'll still hit the quality mark the series is know for.

Irrational Games has announced that it's already begun development of BioShock Infinite DLC. The firm plans to launch three game add-ons, which will be available for a discounted price as part of the BioShock Infinite season pass.

Publisher Take-Two has confirmed a BioShock Infinite release date of March 26.

In other words: We aren't making this game until Vita picks up

In other words: Never happening 

In other words: Shocking news.

Another lie by Sony then.

It`s like Wii U`s Ghost Recon Online and Dirt. Announced, but nowhere to be found!
It sucks for Vita owners, because BioShock is a big franchise and the lateste seems to be having a good level of hype.

A Sony Fav. 

Looks like it ain't happening then.

Bioshock Vita will probably only happen if Sony steps in with a bag of money. Something they, imo, should consider.

Always loved that one.  All was shown was a title and yet it gets brought up all the time in peoples list of awesome games for the PS3.

But that's what playstations do best.  They are the hype machine.  For every good game that comes out 10 amazing games are hyped in the unforseeable future.
