It’s been rumoured for months, but now there is solid confirmation that all three BioShock titles will be making their way to Xbox One, PS4 and PC – gloriously remastered!
BioShock: The Collection will arrive on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in North America on September 13, Australia on September 15, and internationally on September 16. That’ll mean you can get your hands on all three Bioshock games, all of the single player DLC and a ton of remastery for modern day machines in one huge value packed bundle. There will also be a never-before-seen video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” which includes insights from Ken Levine.
With a ton of awards behind the Bioshock franchise including topping numerous ‘best of’ lists, the series of games are must players for each and every gamer. It may be nine years since we went on the original terrifying journey, five years since we returned to Rapture in the sequel and over three years since we went skyward with Infinite, but chances are you’ll want to play through each experience yet again.
The bundled content for BioShock: The Collection includes:
- BioShock
o The video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” featuring Ken Levine, creative director on BioShock and BioShock Infinite and Shawn Robertson, animation lead on BioShock and animation director on BioShock Infinite.
