2K Games has announced that a “genetically-enhanced” version of BioShock is in development for the PS3 at 2K Marin. The PS3 version of BioShock will include new features and content and will be released in October 2008.

This means the PS3 version will be arriving roughly a year after the game’s debut on the Xbox 360 in 2007. 2K Marin is also currently developing BioShock 2. The title is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of Take Two’s 2009 fiscal year but platforms have not yet been announced although it is rumoured to be heading to both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

“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,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

“Over the coming months we look forward to revealing the new features and content that will make this a must-have game for its new audience, as well as for those who enjoyed it on the other platforms.”

Earlier in the year Take Two announced that Bioshock 2 would be released in the fourth quarter of its 2009 fiscal year.

While BioShock was released exclusively on the Xbox 360, the initial announcement for next-generation consoles along with a job posting on developer 2K Marin’s website soon suggested that BioShock 2 might be headed to the PS3 as well as the 360.

The July magazine cover of UK-based PlayStation gaming magazine ‘PSM3’ has confirmed that BioShock 2 is heading to the PS3. First spotted by Computer & Video Games, the cover of the magazine reads “Proof why Xbox’s best shooter is better on PS3” although details of the PS3 version are still scant.

According to 1UP, the July issue of EGM also confirms the underwater shooter is heading to the PS3. IGN is reporting that 2K Games has confirmed that “BioShock is in development for the PlayStation 3.”

Earlier in the year Take Two announced that Bioshock 2 would be released in quarter 2 of its financial year and would be developed by 2K Marin. The publisher did not announce which platforms the games would be released on.

However, job postings on 2K Marin’s website seem to suggest that Bioshock 2 might be headed to the PC, Xbox 360 as well as the PS3 and Wii.

The postings call for applications from people who are familiar with the Xbox 360 as well as the Wii and PS3. The level designer position calls for “experience working with recent generation game console technology (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 or PS3) and PS3 experience is required.”
