BioShock 2 Announced

by Kiven on March 12th, 2008

Take-Two has announced the sequel to its huge hit BioShock at call to discuss its quarterly financial results. No details regarding the game were given However, Take-Two executives confirmed previous rumors that the Irrational Games team (now 2K Boston) would not be developing the sequel. Instead, 2K Marin has been tasked with creating the next in the BioShock franchise. 2K Boston’s Ken Levine will be involved in the sequel, however.

If you’re wondering why Take-Two would announce Bioshock 2 so early, it is likely due to EA’s recent attempts at acquiring the company as this announcement of a BioShock sequel would only increase Take-Two’s value.

BioShock 2 is set for release in Q4 of Take-Two’s fiscal year 2009.
