Euro BioShock date confirmed News

PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

1 March, 2007

2K has slammed its fist on the table this afternoon and confirmed to Eurogamer that BioShock will be sitting on European shelves on 24th August.

"We've now had clarification that the new UK release date for BioShock will be 24th August," a spokesperson for the publisher whispered into our digital ear.

It confirms earlier news that the game would be available in August, although Americans will get the game on Tuesday and we'll have to wait until Friday.

In case you haven't been listening, BioShock is an impressive looking first-person adventure that sees you explore a city under the ocean, which was originally created by scientists to be a perfect society. Naturally everything went tits-up and now huge diver-suit wearing guardians with drill-mounted hands wander the art deco halls protecting mutated girls who feast on corpses.

It'll be available for Xbox 360 and PC, though it won't feature a multiplayer mode. With Irrational pouring an immense amount of hours into the single-player experience, we're hoping that won't matter.

Head over to Eurogamer TV to see just why we're so excited.

I wonder if this US/EU:Tues/Fri is new Microsoft policy (cf. Crackdown). it's great, anyway.

"ms wants a chunk of the EU market."

Never going to get it by being nice to us. that's not how we do things. come home drunk and slap us around a bit. cheat on us with our dumb cousin. that's how sony won our hearts

All i hope is that it doesn't do an Invisible War on me!

Still liked the game, but it paled in comparison to the original. Hopefully this will be a worthy "spiritual" successor to System Shock.

oh well.. will have a NEW PC by then so will play it on that instead, kinda hoped it would have been here by now for the 360.

at least it should mean it's polished to perfection :)

Yay! Most anticipated game for me this year...yes, above Mass Effect and Halo 3.

I hope such things such as toxins will be maintaine; being bitten by a spider in System Shock and having to find a hypo to stop the continuing draining of health really added to the terror those fucking spiders exuded. Hope the voice of Shodan will be back as well...

"huge diver-suit wearing guardians with drill-mounted hands"

Drill mounted hands? How do those work exactly?

Why doesn't this have a co-op function?! I mean, if it's a spiritual successor to System Shock 2 (which had a fantastic co-op function over the Internet), wouldn't that be a priority?

Damn. I was hoping for co-op in this.

I want this soooo much. System Shock 1 and 2 were absolutely legendary.
