More Sequels in Store for the Bioshock Universe
January 7, 2009 | 10:40 AM PST

by: Kim Fidler

In an interview with MCV, Global President of 2K, Christopher Hartmann has revealed that we could be seeing as many as 5 sequels for 2007's smash hit Bioshock as long as the story holds up. Citing other succesful franchises, such as Star Wars, Hartmann seems confident that if the story presented in the Bioshock universe continues to uphold the quality of it's predecessors there would be no reason not to give fans more of the series. Turn the page to see what he had to say.

"For Bioshock, because it's so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix? The first Matrix was great, the second one was weird and the third one, you thought: 'Who [making this] is on crack and who isn't?'. "But, then again, look at Star Wars. It's a fight between good and evil, just like Bioshock. If we spin it the right way and get the right twist of innovation, we can make six parts of it, as Star Wars did.

"But we have to be careful not to cash in. I won't name the company, but there was a great racing game years ago. They brought it back year-on-year. If you look at the scores, it's hard to believe what they've done to it. It's upsetting, actually." -- MCV


I have my fingers crossed that they do this right but I have a feeling that the Bioshock sequels will never quite live up to the greatness of the original. Really though, if the sequels are at least 75% as good as the first one they'd still be better than most of the other shovelware that seems to be flying off the shelves these days.
