BioShock 2 Now Available Worldwide

February 9th, 2010

2K Games announced that BioShock 2, the sequel to the 2007 Game of the Year, is now available worldwide for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows-LIVE.

The original game shipped more than 3 million units worldwide.

The single player serves as a sequel to the original game and provides fans with an unsettling storyline, dazzling visual design and the evolution of the genetically enhanced shooter gameplay. Set almost a decade after a grueling civil war consumed the once magnificent city of Rapture, evil reverberates through the halls and a wickedness once thought gone forever returns along the Atlantic seaboard. An unspeakable series of kidnappings from local seaside communities by an unseen monster leads to the repopulation of Little Sisters in Rapture’s failed utopia under the ocean.

Players must step into the boots of one of gaming’s most iconic characters, the Big Daddy, as they traverse through the fallen city, fending off attacks from an army of genetically modified Splicers, while searching for escape and the key to their survival.
