BioShock: The Collection will launch on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September, the game’s publisher has announced.
2K Games revealed that they had been working with Blind Squirrel Games to bring remastered versions of BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite to the current generation consoles.
According to 2K, the weapons, plasmids, levels and character models have been reskinned and retextured to look “better than ever”.
BioShock: The Collection will contain all three games, as well as all single-player DLC and a never-before-seen video series titled “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock”. Further details can be found below.
BioShock
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.
Museum of Orphaned Concepts: Walk through a Rapture-inspired virtual museum that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at discarded concepts that never made it into the original game.
Challenge Rooms: Outside the story of BioShock, tackle puzzles, splicers and Big Daddies. And achievements, of course.
