Bioshock 2 Will Support Co-Op

Astute Co-Optimus forum reader Tino got his latest issue of Game Informer magazine.  The cover exclusive is details and screenshots of the upcoming Bioshock sequel called Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams.

While the cover had a major revelation of showing off the new female "Big Daddy" units called "Big Sisters" - there was another gem hidden between the pages.  That gem is co-op gameplay.  There's no details yet on what exactly the co-op entails,  and or how it will play into the story.  Hopefully it won't just be a Big Daddy and Little Sister mini game.

Bioshock was released in 2007 on the Xbox 360 and PC to critical acclaim winning over a dozen game of the year awards.  It was later released on the PlayStation 3 and the series has gone on to sell over 2.5 million copies.  Bioshock 2 is confirmed for all three platforms.  Needless to say, we're excited about the prospect of co-op!

Update:  It looks like at least part of the information on the net is untrue.  No word on what exactly is what yet.  GameInformer has responded.

I really really really really really hope there's local split-screen coop!

This is cool, I know several people that avoided Bioshock perhaps this will give them a reason to play the first one.

"Big Sister" sounds much less gross than "Big mama" and actually makes more sense. I'm still not sure how I feel about horror co-op, but I suppose we'll see how it works.

This game will be HUGE if they add Coop (especially SplitScreen, hell.. UE3 supports it!)

Whooah. Don't have the magazine. Read it on the front page on other "big" gaming blogs.

If this is actually true I hope it has real story co-op not just a "horde" mode or anything like that.

I loved Bioshock, and this news makes Bioshock 2 sound sooo much better. Im looking forward to it.

Horde mode would be great...

Can you say, "Hello Big Daddy!"?

The wife and I played the first one with "pass the controller" co-op, but unless this one has split-screen, I will take a pass.

I never talk when I play online on COD. No one really says anything worth listening to, or no one talks whatsoever.
