I might be wrong but so far every time I've checked out something released by the developers (Ghost Story) every-time Judas is mentioned the gender of the character is never said it's just "The Troubled and Mysterious Judas" and the fact that Judas is traditionally a male name but the body of the character in the game clearly female. I mean it's not impossible that she is a cisgender woman who just happened to be given a male name but it is rather odd.
And again everytime we get a summery or trailer Ken Levine never states Judas' gender, only ever referring to the character You or just by the name Judas.
I could be reading into something that isn't there and it's possible that Levine just picked the name because it's so heavily associated with betrayal which is an obvious theme of this game but still, hm. I'll stick with she/her until such time as it is revealed by the developers and odds are good that Judas will be cisgender and I'm just seeing something that isn't actually there.

Yeah, I thought about titling this Will Judas (Video Game Character) be Non-Binary but then I thought, no this would be more fun.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about. I don't and am not inclined to google-foo it, because you're not really selling me on anything and give limited context. So: What are you talking about?

It's an upcoming videogame, and also the name of the protagonist apparently.

Ah there we go. Thank you. What is the game about and why should I be invested beyond the game featuring a potentially non-binary main character?

I joked about this in my other post on it, it's basically BioShock in space in fact it's made by the guy who created both Bioshock and BioShock: Infinite. The plot, I think it's a little vague, and about the title character, Judas who is trying to break people out of a sort of lotus eating machine as a means to revenge against those who had her in one until she broke free.
Here's the trailers for the game if you're interested.
