Currently in development for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system, and Games for Windows®
LIVE, BioShock 2 will deliver two unique,
yet intertwined experiences that form the
perfect blend of explosive first-person
shooter combat, compelling storytelling and
intense multiplayer action.
Set approximately 10 years after the events
of the original BioShock, the halls of
Rapture once again echo with sins of the
past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a
monster has been snatching little girls and
bringing them back to the undersea city of
Rapture. Players step into the boots of the
most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big
Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit
and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen
foe in search of answers and their own
survival.
Multiplayer in BioShock 2 will provide a
rich prequel experience that expands the
origins of the BioShock fiction. Set during
the fall of Rapture, players assume the role
of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair
Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids
and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture
that was first explored in the original
BioShock. Players will need to use all the
elements of the BioShock toolset to survive,
as the full depth of the BioShock experience
is refined and transformed into a unique
multiplayer experience that can only be
found in Rapture.
BioShock 2 is currently in development at 2K
Marin in collaboration with 2K Australia,
Digital Extremes and 2K China for the Xbox
360® video game and entertainment system
from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system and Games for Windows®
LIVE. BioShock 2 will be available worldwide
on February 9, 2010. This title is not yet
rated by the ESRB.
