PS3 BioShock confirmed for October

2K Games has announced that BioShock will be making its PlayStation 3 debut this October, with as yet unannounced new features and content included.

This is a reverse on the company's position last year, when 2K Boston's creative director Ken Levine dismissed rumours that a PS3 version was in development.

"Since BioShock for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows won countless 2007 Game of the Year awards, we are excited to see the impact of this stellar title for the PlayStation 3 system when it debuts this fall," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

"Over the coming months we look forward to revealing the new features and content that will make this a must-have game for its new audience, as well as for those who enjoyed it on the other platforms."

Following BioShock's original release on Xbox 360 and PC, the title won wide-spread acclaim and was awarded the BAFTA for best game of the year.
