Rumor: BioShock 2 to be a prequel, released 2009?

We’re excited about the planned BioShock (PC and Xbox 360) sequel, ever since Take-Two Interactive hinted that they will make BioShock a gaming franchise. But what about the details? Head off the the full article for the juicy stuff fresh from the rumor mill.

Take-Two Interactive already announced that the hit game BioShock (PC and Xbox 360) will have its sequel, but it’s already months since that announcement and we haven’t heard any details about the planned BioShock 2. But now, we may have a small hint on what to expect from the BioShock sequel.

According to a source of Czech gaming site Hrej, BioShock 2 won’t be a sequel in the first place. The game is purported to be already in pre-production phase, and that it is already planned to be released on Summer 2009. If the fact that BioShock 2 is actually a prequel turns out to be true, then we’ll certainly have something awesome to look forward to: an in-depth look on how Rapture fell into decline.
