BioShock 2 'Rapture Metro' DLC Hits PC Tuesday

Released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier this month, the latest round of downloadable add-ons for BioShock 2 will be making their way to PC tomorrow.

Due on PC come May 25, the content spans three individual downloads of varying price and functionality--the free "Kill 'em Kindly" melee multiplayer mode, the 800 Microsoft Points / $10 "Rapture Metro Pack" that offers six new multiplayer maps, and the two additional characters of the 160 Microsoft Point / $2 "Zigo and Blanche Character Pack"--all of which are sold through the Games for Windows Live Marketplace.
