The long-rumored PlayStation 3 edition of 2K Boston and 2K Australia's underwater shooter BioShock (PC, 360) has been confirmed by 1UP and sister publication EGM.

The port is due out this holiday season, with some possible graphical improvements. Rumors had previously suggested a PS3 edition would arrive in September.

The site further reports that Thief: Deadly Shadows co-designer and BioShock artist Jordan Thomas has replaced creator Ken Levine as creative director of the franchise, which has a sequel in the works over at 2K Marin. Levine is said to be involved with the sequel, though his role has not been specified.

The next project for Levine and 2K Boston is not yet known, but has long been rumored to be a new X-COM title.

What are the chances that this will have mouse and keyboard support? How about 1080p?

  Uh, it's gonna be on Blu-Ray disc, how could it NOT be 1080p? : psycho100
  - lol. you do realise blu-ray has nothing to do with screen resolution, right? : erotic sock
  - blu-ray movies are 1080p. games on blu-ray discs aren't necessarily 1080p. : formkatze

I think I'd be interested if they added some new content, but on the other hand BioShock felt like it was too long in the first place. I wonder if there will be anything worthwhile for owners of the 360 / PC version to look forward to.

Pleased to be adding an inventory system next time around. I hated having to use things as soon as I pick them up and half the fun of SS2 was carrying shit around and collecting things.

I wonder what they're doing storywise. To me, it seems like Rapture's story is done. I know that there's a lame sequel setup in the final cutscene, but I hope they don't pursue that direction.

I know that Irrational surprised with System Shock 2, so who knows though?

Fuck yeah! This is pretty much the only game that makes me jealous of 360 owners. I want to play this so badly and my computer sucks too much to play it.
