BioShock’s Plot
Rapture is a fictional underwater city that was intended to be a safe haven. But it, unfortunately, became a hellish environment because of its dark secrets. You play the role of Jack and must escape from the city using all your cunning and arsenal of weapons. You have to stay one step ahead of ruthless stalkers -Big Daddies – who bombard you with plasmids, physical and mental challenges, and hidden traps around every corner.
A writer has not yet been announced for the new BioShock animated TV series. But it will likely focus on events portrayed in the original game and take viewers on a journey through Rapture. So viewers should expect to see some deeper themes explored too such as philosophy and architecture inspired by Ayn Rand’s novels. A new BioShock game is also in development. So there’ll be plenty for dedicated fans of this hit franchise to look forward to over the next few months.
