BioShock to get Downloadable Content

In a post-release interview with Games for Windows, Ken Levine of 2K Boston (formally Irrational Games) revealed plans of expanding the experience of BioShock through downloadable content.

By this he didn’t exactly mean you’re going to enjoy an expanded campaign; his plans are just to enhance the gameplay to warrant another replay. In his own words:

"Diablo II, to me, was a great model for an expansion, because it enhanced the original game, but also extended the game too. I'm not a really big fan of expanding things just by linearly adding to the experience, adding a new campaign, as much as I am of enhancing the original experience and adding replayability to that experience.

"I think that certainly BioShock's combat experience is great, but it could be broader. I'm a little more confused as far as how to expand the narrative experience."

Ken also mentioned that "a lot of plasmids got cut" during the game’s development cycle, so you can expect to see a few new ones the next time you journey through Rapture. There’s no date or any additional information about the DLC, but we’ll keep you posted when we hear something.
