2K Games Announces February 9, 2010 Global Street Date for BioShock(R) 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, NY – September 18, 2009 – 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.

I’ve completed BioShock twice now and I have absolutely no desire to play the sequel. I’m just not engaged by this one’s premise.

Ooooh nice! Was expecting it to come later than that.
Really looking forward to this game. I thought the first game was ridiculously good. Plus Bioshock 2 comes with multiplayer which i always thought would be brilliant fun. As long as it’s well done and doesn’t get ignored for COD.
Bring on next year =]

Big Mommies/Sisters look like the zombie nurses or whatever from Silent Hill in terms of proportion and shape.
Phoenixblight said:
@5 No she doesn’t
THe nurses stand up straighter then that and dragging their weapon even if its a knife they still act like it weights to much. WHere Big Sister looks more or less like a monkey and the suit she wears doesn’t weigh her down.
