BioShock 2 Launch Platforms Still Unconfirmed

March 10, 2009 1:59 PM

Though Take-Two has confirmed that BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams is "destined" for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the publisher has still yet to say what platforms the narrative-driven shooter sequel will hit when it launches between August and October.

In an earnings statement issued today, Take-Two Interactive again stated that BioShock 2 is due out by October 31, 2009, but listed the platforms it'll hit by then as "TBA."

The first BioShock debuted on PC and Xbox 360 in 2007, and arrived on PS3 over a year later. However, the PS3 port was not started until after the other versions released.

The advertising campaign for the the sequel, in development at 2K Marin, is now underway. The game will be featured on more than 30 magazine covers next month.

Sea of Dreams sounds vaguely like a prequel.

  But all of the advertising thus far takes place in 1967, which is after the first BioShock! It's a mystery.

    Maybe they went back in time in 1967, and made the original Rapture before it. Thus, though chronologically set after BS1, BS2 could still technically be a prequel.

      Maybe in this one they can go forward in time alot...instead of building it underwater they can build it in space and have some kind of cyberpunk/techno themed game with an evil AI?

        Sounds a bit farfetched. I can't really see the connection to BioShock. Pretty original though, it could work.

        They could come up with a really cool name for the AI, say SHODAN.
