After outing the compilation on its own website, 2K has confirmed BioShock: The Collection–a remastered anthology of BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite. It costs $60 and launches in North America on September 13, Australia on September 15, and internationally on September 16.
BioShock: The Collection includes all three games and all of the DLC released for them. Additionally, it will include a director’s commentary feature called Imagining BioShock, with director Ken Levine and lead artist Shawn Roberston.
The remastered version of BioShock 2 will not include the multiplayer. It’s worth noting that the PC version of BioShock: Infinite included in the collection “is not being remastered because it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.”
The compilation is being developed by Blind Squirrel Games, which collaborated with Irrational Games on the development on the original release of BioShock Infinite.
We’ll have to wait to see how the remastered versions of the BioShock games fare, but the original versions all received glowing reviews from GameSpot. BioShock received a 9 in our review, BioShock 2 scored an 8.5, and BioShock Infinite earned itself a 9.
