BioShock 2 DLC Announced

Following the massive DLC trend of the past couple years, 2K has already announced some upcoming DLC for recently released BioShock 2, the first of which will be a purely multiplayer expansion titled “The Sinclair Solutions Test Pack.” There isn’t a release date quite yet, unless you consider “soon” to be a release date, but it’ll cost you 400 ($5) on Xbox Live and $4.99 on PSN when it’s doled out and features the following:

• Rank Increase to level 50 with Rank Rewards
• New playable characters Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca
• 20 new trials (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher)
• A third weapon upgrade for each weapon
• Five additional masks (some only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher)

Not bad for a 5 buck DLC to be honest. Most games charge more than that just for a rank increase. For those into the multiplayer enough to have capped out already, this will definitely be welcome. One interesting slice of this announcement pie mentioned future single player DLC, and as to what that could be, well it’s anyone’s guess. I’d probably wager on some challenge rooms similar to the first game’s DLC as the story itself does not leave too much room for tinkering. Either way, I’m always ready to return to Rapture. Stayed tuned this week for our very own BioShock 2 review as well!
