The PlayStation 3 version of 2K Boston and 2K Australia's narrative-driven dystopian shooter BioShock will surface in North American retailers on October 21 and European stores on October 24, publisher 2K Games has confirmed.

"We are proud to introduce 2K Games' showcase title, BioShock, to an entirely new audience," said 2K president Christoph Hartmann. "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."

Packing downloadable challenge rooms, support for PS3 Trophies, and all of the DLC previously released for the PC and Xbox 360 editions, the PlayStation 3 port was handled by 2K Marin, 2K Boston, 2K Australia and external studio Digital Extremes.

BioShock originally debuted on PC and Xbox 360 in August of 2007. A sequel, due between August and October 2009 is currently in development at 2K Marin for unknown platforms, though PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 releases appear likely.

With the challenge rooms, trophies and DLC this is going to be one hell of a release. I still haven't played this game as I never got it for PC. I always just thought it looked like another FPS. Maybe it'll finally push me to pick it up for PS3.

There are so many good looking games coming out it's ridiculous,,,
