Two of the greatest shooters of the last decade and Bioshock 2 make their way into one collection on September 13th – BioShock: The Collection. BioShock 1, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are going to be remastered (well, not BioShock Infinite, at least not on PC) and released on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
So, what do you get in this collection? Well, you get to play all three games as well as all of the DLC that was released for those games. Here’s everything you get to experience with each of these games:
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.
BioShock 2 (**Multiplayer will not be included)
Minerva’s Den: A self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you’ve never seen before. Use expanded combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva’s Den, as you face off against the Lancer Big Daddy.
Protector Trials: Take control of an Alpha Series Big Daddy woken out of hibernation just before the events of BioShock 2.
BioShock Infinite
Burial at Sea - Episode 1 & 2 Add-On Packs: This major two-part DLC pack completes the BioShock trilogy by taking the series back to where it all began. Return to Rapture just before the events of the original BioShock!
Clash in the Clouds Add-On Pack: Face 60 waves of challenges across four additional maps for leaderboard glory and unlock areas to explore in The Columbian Archaeological Society hub museum.
Columbia’s Finest Pack: Combines the contents of the Industrial Revolution Pack and the Upgrade Pack and includes 500 Silver Eagles, five Lock Picks, six unique Gear items, and two weapon upgrades: Comstock’s China Broom Shotgun and Comstock’s Eagle Eye Sniper Rifle.
The video series and remastered versions of BioShock 1 & 2 are reasons to pick up this collection if you already own the games already, though that depends whether you think commentary by Ken Levine is worth it or not (it is!).
BioShock: The Collection is scheduled to release on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for $59.99.
