14 DAY TRIAL // BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition, the special collection that includes both BioShock 1 and 2, as well as their add-ons and plenty of extra content, has received a January 14 release date in North America for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.
BioShock Infinite is getting ready to appear at the end of March and publisher 2K Games wants to make sure that all those interested in the upcoming title can play through the previous BioShock 1 and 2 games.
As such, the company is getting ready to debut a special collection called BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition, which hits North America on January 14.
The bundle includes both BioShock 1 and 2, as well as all their DLC packs and plenty of other bonuses, including a sticker set based on the floating city of Columbia, which appears in BioShock Infinite.
