2K Games Announces February 9, 2010 Global Street Date for
BioShock® 2
Sequel to the winner of more than 50 Game of the Year
Awards marks the arrival of one of 2010’s most highly anticipated titles
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2K Games announced today that BioShock® 2, the
highly anticipated sequel to the 2007 Game of the Year, will be available
worldwide beginning February 9, 2010. The game is now available for pre-order at
participating retailers.
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.
