2K games announced that they will be releasing new content for BioShock including new plasmids for the player to experiment with, as well as a new “hard core” game mode which disables the Vita-Chambers. The best part about this DLC, due out next week, is that it is being released for free.

Along with the new content, BioShock will be getting an update which will address a number of bugs. The patch will also fix an issue with the widescreen support.

The update will be released on Xbox Live sometime next week. For PC owners, the patch and content will be available on the same day on the Cult of Rupture site.

I’m very excited about this new DLC. I haven’t touched BioShock since I beat in back in September. With the new plasmids and difficulty level, BioShock just got on my “to play” list over Christmas break.
