PS3 owners can get their hands on BioShock on October 24th, with a Challenge Room available for download soon after
2K Games has announced today that the PlayStation 3 version of BioShock will be available at retailers in North America on October 21st.
The game will then be released internationally a few days later on October 24th. As for new content, there will be a few new 'augments' to play about with.
"We are proud to introduce 2K Games' showcase title, BioShock, to an entirely new audience," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.
"With the addition of the new add-on game content, we are able to extend the award-winning adventure while maintaining the perfect harmony that millions of players around the world have fallen in love with."
Other new additions to the PS3 version will be the inclusion of the Survivor difficulty mode (no infinite respawning), Trophy support and the 'add-on game content' - the augments and Challenge Rooms, essentially.
The PR blurb describes the latter as "test[ing] the mettle of new and seasoned gamers by requiring them to utilize the knowledge and skills they have learned while traversing the halls of Rapture."
The first Challenge Room will be available for download shortly after launch.
