BioShock 2 Big Sister confirmed

On the cover of a magazine.

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams will feature the rumoured Big Sister character according to US magazine Game Informer.

Following reports earlier this week, Game Informer scanned in its April issue cover, which features the lithe, rather graceful-looking Big Sister, with a familiar friend perched on her shoulder.

There's no clarification of her role yet, however, and we still don't know who you play as in BioShock 2, nor whether the game is set in Rapture and how it links in to the first game's celebrated narrative.

Publisher 2K has stepped up the teaser campaign in recent days, hinting that the game is set seven years in the future and set-up by the kidnapping of a little girl or girls from coastal towns, including one in Ireland.

Previously all we've had to go on is the original teaser trailer of a little girl standing on a beach with a Big Daddy plush toy doing plasmid-looking things to the sand.

The game's due out for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year.
