Bioshock Could Have 5 Sequels
Global President of 2K, Christoph Hartmann, told MCV in an interview that there may be up to five sequels to Bioshock. The original was released back in 2007, and later went on to be a popular game despite bundled DRM protection.
Hartmann told MCV that gamers won’t have to wait several years for each sequel to be released, bringing Duke Nukem to mind. Hartmann also expressed that the company would not cash in on the franchise, leaving it with bad sequels.
Hartmann compared to franchise to a Matrix or Star Wars type franchise, wherein the storyline could span across multiple sequels. He made clear that sequels can go awry, leading to storylines that are not so great as they go on.
The first sequel, Bioshock 2: Sea Of Dreams, will be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 this year.
