Expansion

August 31, 2010

RPG

An official DLC that expands the plot of the 2010’s BioShock 2 by 2K Games. The action of the expansion takes place at the same time as the events of the original. In Minerva’s Den, we assume the role of a completely new character, who joined forces with the original’s Brigid Tenenbaum, and visit previously unknown locations in the underwater city of Rapture, uncovering mysteries of its new governor and filling up some missing pieces of the plot of BioShock 2. The add-on features new kinds of weapons and plasmids as well as improved flying robots that now are now powerfully armed. We also encounter new enemies, including the previously unused variant of Big Daddy, and six new Little Sisters that can be either rescued or killed. The gameplay is focused solely on the single player mode and doesn’t introduce any novelties to the multiplayer.
