2K Games has formally announced development of a PlayStation 3 version of BioShock, confirming that the title is currently slated for release in October 2008.
Speaking in an official press release, 2K President Christoph Hartmann commented, “Since BioShock for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows won countless 2007 Game of the Year awards, we are excited to see the impact of this stellar title for the PLAYSTATION 3 system when it debuts this fall.”
“Over the coming months we look forward to revealing the new features and content that will make this a must-have game for its new audience, as well as for those who enjoyed it on the other platforms.”
News of a PS3 release of the critically acclaimed shooter materialised late last week, with rumours having circulated from as far back as late 2007. Until now, 2K Games has continuously denied any knowledge of a PS3 port.
