Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Detailed
Once again 2K Games is collaborating with Canadian developer Digital Extremes on the Bioshock franchise, this time to develop the multiplayer side of Bioshock 2.
Not surprisely, fans of the original Bioshock clamoured for online multiplayer in Bioshock 2, which plays the role of prequel to the original. Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K, spoke of their revived partnership with Digital Extremes:
With Digital Extremes delivering a multiplayer experience for BioShock 2 that features all of the things that make BioShock unique, we're holding ourselves to a high standard so that we can deliver the depth and variety that fans of the BioShock universe demand.
Digital Extremes had previously worked on the Playstation 3 port of the original Bioshock.
In 2K's press release they detailed the "key features" of Bioshock 2's multiplayer experience.
• Evolution of the genetically enhanced shooter – Earn experience points during gameplay to earn access to new Weapons, Plasmids and Tonics that can be used to create hundreds of different combinations, allowing players to develop a unique character that caters to their playing style.
• Extend the Rapture fiction – Players will step into the shoes of Rapture citizens and learn more about the fall of Rapture as they progress through the experience.
• See Rapture before the fall – Experience Rapture before it was reclaimed by the ocean and engage in combat over iconic environments in locations such as Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, all of which have been reworked from the ground up to deliver a fast-paced multiplayer experience.
