News: 2K Games has revealed that the rumors were true and there is a Bioshock remastered collection coming this year.

2K has just revealed that the Bioshock Collection is indeed coming and it will be released a little later this year. For the first time, fans of the BioShock franchise can experience all three award winning adventures remastered for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. BioShock: The Collection will launch on September 13, 2016 in the U.S. as well as September 15 in Australia and September 16 internationally.

Working with Blind Squirrel Games, 2K remastered BioShock and BioShock 2 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. BioShock: The Collection brings the three titles together, complete with all single player DLC as well as a never before seen video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” which includes insights from Ken Levine.

The details of what each game will include is below:

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: Walkthrough 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 as well as earn achievements/trophies.

BioShock 2 - No Multiplayer

Minerva’s Den: A self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you’ve never seen before. User 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.

BioShock Infinite is not being remastered for PC because it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings. Additionally, if you already own BioShock, BioShock 2 and/or Minerva's Den on Steam you will be able to upgrade to the remastered version of BioShock 1 and 2 for free. This collection will also not include BioShock 2 multiplayer. BioShock: The Collection is slated to be released on September 13 in North America, September 15 in Australia and internationally on September 16. It will be available digitally as well as in stores for $59.99. Will you be picking it up?
