BioShock Could Have up to 5 Sequels
January 7th, 2009 by acoleman
Good news for FPS fans, Survival Horror fans, and most of all BioShock fans. In an interview with MCV Magazine, 2K President Christoph Hartmann said that the BioShock franchise could possibly have up to five sequels. Hartmann specifically said he was hoping to emulate Star Wars with the BioShock Franchise and that could mean that 2k could be going the prequel route as well as sequel.
Hartmann was quoted as saying, “For BioShock, because it’s so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix,” he also went on to say “But, then again, look at Star Wars. It’s a fight between good and evil, just like BioShock. If we spin it the right way and get the right twist of innovation, we can make six parts of it, as Star Wars did.”
Although I am a big BioShock fan I do have concerns as to how they plan to make 5 sequels/prequels work. Sure Star Wars was successful with it’s six installments, but it is an iconic movie franchise, and BioShock is a video game franchise with a significantly smaller fan base. I am not saying I don’t think 2k can do it, it just seems that at this point in time there is not that high of a demand for that many installments in the franchise.
Expect BioShock 2 Sea of Dreams for Xbox 360, and PS3 sometime in 2009, and as for the next installments, we will just have to wait and see.
