First Details for BioShock 2

Thanks to some internet forum users who received the newest issue of Game Informer a little early, we finally have some information regarding BioShock 2. First, the biggest news to come out is the confirmation of having the player take control of a ‘Big Daddy.’ According to the magazine, the star of the game will be a so-called ‘renegade’ Big Daddy, in search of his own ‘Little Sister.’ During the course of the game, the player will be responsible for destroying other Daddies by using the infamous hand-drill and upgradable plasma powers. In order to preform upgrades to the Big Daddy’s energy, the player most choose to either harvest Little Sisters for an ADAM, just like the first game — or adapt her.

As for the story, the game will be set ten years after the incidents from the first BioShock. The newest enemy in the game the ‘Big Sister,’ who was confirmed she would be included a few days ago, apparently used to be a Little Sister. Some things were revealed about her. We do know her mission is to set out and hunt the renegade Big Daddy. She will appear after the player kills a Big Daddy, and will be notified when a Little Sister sings after his death. Like we thought, the Big Sister will be fast and agile, unlike the Big Daddies who roamed the first game, who were slow and awkward. Not only that, she has the abilty to use telekinesis and is able to throw objects at the player. Game Informer describes her as “the hardest thing in the game,” and it sounds like it.

The game will not only be told inside the glass walls of Rapture, but outside them as well. During the course of the game, certain fight scenes will happen on the ocean floor. As of now, we don’t have any details on how 2K Marin plans on doing this.

It should also be noted, that 2K has confirmed multiplayer feature(s). How the will entail is still a mystery, but hopefully we will find out soon. BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams should be available in late-2009 and will be sold for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
