Erste Bioshock 2 Multiplayer-Details

2K Games announced today that it has signed a partnership with Digital Extremes to develop the multiplayer experience for BioShock 2.

Under this partnership, Digital Extremes is working closely with the creative team at 2K Marin to develop a new and substantial element that enhances the lore and fiction of the BioShock universe.

"The fans asked for a multiplayer experience and we answered," sagte Christoph Hartmann, Präsident von 2K. "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."

Der Mehrspielermodus in BioShock 2 bietet eine reichhaltige Vorgeschichte, die die Ursprünge der BioShock-Erzählung erweitert. Während des Falls von Rapture schlüpfen die Spieler in die Rolle eines Plasmid-Testsubjekts für Sinclair Solutions, einem führenden Anbieter von Plasmiden und Tonika in der Unterwasserstadt Rapture, die bereits im Original-BioShock erkundet wurde. Die Spieler müssen alle Elemente des BioShock-Werkzeugsets einsetzen, um zu überleben, während die ganze Tiefe der BioShock-Erfahrung verfeinert und in ein einzigartiges Multiplayer-Erlebnis verwandelt wird, das es nur in Rapture gibt.

Wesentliche Merkmale:

• 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.

• FPS veterans add their touch to the multiplayer experience – Digital Extremes brings more than 10 years of first person shooter experience including development of award-winning entries in the Unreal and Unreal Tournament franchise.

BioShock 2 is currently in development at 2K Marin, 2K Australia and Digital Extremes for PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 and Windows-based PCs.
