Last week a spokesperson of 2K Games said that BioShock 2 had left its subtitle, but now it appears that BioShock 2 is still BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams. 2K Games says that the name change was just a rumor, so right now the official title of the game is still BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams.
When BioShock 2 was announced, the game had the subtitle Sea of Dreams but now 2K Games has decided to drop the Sea of Dreams from the name and just calls it BioShock 2. A spokesperson for BioShock 2 says that Sea of Dreams sounded a bit silly so they won’t be using the subtitle ever again. The same BioShock 2 rep also says that BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams won’t be getting a co-op multiplayer mode as we hoped.
Last week a NeoGAF user already revealed what was in the BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams coverstory of the April issue of Game Informer. The 10 page article also offers tons of concept art and screenshots. The coming weeks BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams will be on 25 other magazine covers internationally says 2K Games. 2K Games also responded to the rumors that have been floating around on the internet.
The internet has been busy these past few days with rumors about what is and is not in BioShock 2. While I won’t be giving away any details from the article here (I’ll let you experience it for yourself) I will let you know that there won’t be any spliced-up rhinos, Soviet invasions, or co-op, but you may very well see a Big Daddy or two. The game will feature quite a bit else, however, so head out to your mailbox or favorite store and pick up the Game Informer magazine for the full scoop.
2K Games will soon have its first BioShock 2 podcast online along with other exclusive news items on April 13th. Scans after the click. Read the rest of this entry »
