Bioshock fans will be pleased to learn that the sequel to the popular Bioshock game will be arriving on Mac OS X in January 2012. The port onto the Mac is being created by Mac developer Feral Interactive, who will also be responsible for the Mac version of Bioshock 2’s distribution online.
Return to Rapture
Bioshock 2 takes players back to Rapture, the undersea city built as a radical experiment in libertarian government that collapsed into a vicious civil war. The game is set approximately ten years after the events of the original Bioshock, and players assume the role of Subject Delta, a prototype Big Daddy. The narrative explores themes of power, control, and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
In Bioshock 2, players will encounter new enemies, including the fearsome Big Sisters, and will have access to an expanded arsenal of weapons and plasmids. The game also introduces new gameplay mechanics, such as the ability to dual-wield weapons and plasmids, allowing for more dynamic combat scenarios.
“Whether you choose to forgive those who threaten Eleanor or wreak vengeance upon them, remember, she is always watching and will follow your example.” This quote highlights the moral choices players will face throughout the game, impacting the story’s outcome and Eleanor’s development.
Pre-Order and Availability
If you just can’t wait until its release, you can now pre-order the game ready to load onto your Mac as soon as it is released, directly from the Feral Interactive website for £25. Pre-ordering ensures that you will be among the first to experience the enhanced graphics and performance optimizations tailored specifically for Mac OS X.
Feral Interactive has a strong track record of bringing high-quality games to the Mac platform. Their expertise ensures that Bioshock 2 will run smoothly and take full advantage of Mac hardware capabilities. This port is expected to include all the downloadable content (DLC) released for the original game, providing Mac users with the complete Bioshock 2 experience.
The game’s rich atmosphere, compelling story, and innovative gameplay have earned it critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. The Mac release will allow even more players to explore the hauntingly beautiful world of Rapture and uncover its dark secrets.
In addition to the single-player campaign, Bioshock 2 also features a multiplayer mode that offers a unique perspective on the fall of Rapture. Players can choose from various characters, each with their own backstory, and engage in fast-paced combat across iconic locations from the original game. This mode adds replayability and depth to the overall experience, making it a must-play for fans of the series.
