Bioshock 2 Single Player DLC!

As an ex-Bioshock hater and newly found Bioshock lover, I just discovered this today in gaming news!

And also, disregard my last post on my In Depth View thingy. I just can't resist this little bloggy thingy, It's just so additive! I gotta post about video games, and music!

Anyways...



Let's face it: If you're a fan of Bioshock 2, you probably don't want multiplayer DLC as much as single-player. Sure, the game's multiplayer aspects are fun, but the Bioshock series has always been about mood and story, so fans want the DLC to follow suit. This morning, 2K games made the right move, dropping details on "Minerva's Den," single-player, story based DLC for Bioshock 2.

The new content is a "self-contained narrative experience" that puts players in the role of a new character who teams up with Brigid Tenenbaum to "unravel a dictator's stranglehold on a key district in the distinctive city under the sea"


Here's a more detailed description of the new content:

"Prepare to explore Rapture Central Computing, a never-before-seen district of the undersea city, and uncover the dark secrets hidden in its founder's past. Wield new high-tech weaponry and a devastating new Plasmid to best the towering threats in Minerva's Den: more dangerous Splicers that command the power of the elements, upgraded Security Bots that throw rockets and lightning bolts, and even a never-before-seen type of Big Daddy. Developed by 2K Marin, Minerva's Den offers new twists on the story-driven experience that drew players into BioShock 2 when it launched earlier this year."

Now, if you've never played any of the Bioshock games, I'm sure that paragraph has confused you a bit. I remember I sure was when I first started playing. Asking questions like, "What's a Rapture?" "Splicers? isn't that a movie?" "Big Daddy? sounds like a porno." etc etc. But you should get used to it. :P

DLC should be available sometime this Fall.

Also, 2K Games recently announced single-player downloadable content for BioShock 2. On August 3, the Protector Trials pack will have players defend Little Sisters against swarms of enemies in a variety of challenge rooms. The content will contain six maps based on locations from the main game, alongside three difficulty levels, seven Achievements/Trophies, and new concept art and videos to unlock. The pack will be available on Xbox 360 and PC for 400 Microsoft Points (£3.40) and PlayStation 3 for $4.99 (£3.50).
