The studio provided this overview for the new brand:

Founded by twelve former Irrational Games developers, our mission is simple: to create immersive, story-driven games for people who love games that ask something of them. While we believe our new games will have strong appeal to fans of BioShock, our new focus allows us to craft experiences where the gameplay is as challenging as the stories.

Ghost Story Games first project will be a first-person sci-fi game under Take-Two Interactive.
