It was previously announced that BioShock would be flooding the screens of PS3 owners, but details had been scant at best. Today, 2K Games has officially announced that potential PS3 BioShock owners will be treated with new features and content not previously seen on the Xbox 360 and PC. The game is slated for an October 2008 release.

The original game was released last year and was met with many accolades from game critics around the world. Never before had gamers been treated to such an enriched narrative through a video game as they had in the 2007 release. Since its launch, rumors had been flying around the internet speculating an impending PS3 release, despite official denials.

Although this is big news for potential consumers, 2K is still being rather tight lipped about details surrounding the new content and features. President Christoph Hartmann said that the company will be making more announcements over the coming months and stated that the version landing on the PS3 will be a "must-have game for its new audience, as well as for those who enjoyed it on the other platforms."

He added, "Since BioShock for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows won countless 2007 Game of the Year awards, we are excited to see the impact of this stellar title for the PlayStation 3 system when it debuts this fall"
