BioShock may have five sequels

While BioShock 2 was just announced last March, 2K Games president reveals that BioShock 3, 4, 5, and 6 could be on the way.

MCV reports that 2K Games Global President Christoph Hartmann says that we could see as many as five sequels in the BioShock series, comparing the potential lifespan of their dark FPS franchise to that of the Star Wars film series.

Hartmann's statements come less than a year after BioShock 2 was officially announced in March 2008. BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams was first unveiled to the world in the form of a teaser trailer where a Little Sister holding a stuffed Big Daddy watched a suspiciously Rapture-like metropolis made of sand rise out of the ocean.

Hartmann reveals how we may see BioShock 6 eventually, saying that "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."

The company's president also talks about how they won't be cashing-in on BioShock's popularity because they don't want to ruin the series for fans as the Matrix did.

"For Bioshock, because it's so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix?," says Christoph Hartmann.

"The first Matrix was great, the second one was weird and the third one, you thought: 'Who [making this] is on crack and who isn't?'."

THE VERDICT by Patrick Shaw Patrick Shaw's Avatar BioShock felt like playing through a really long, scarier, gorier episode of The Twilight Zone. I can't wait to play BioShock 2 and the fact that 2K wants to keep pumping new games out is good news.

This is awesome news. I can honestly say that Bioshock made my top 15 games of all time list. Everything about the game impressed me.

I can't wait for the sequel, or prequel or whatever

thats good that hey kinda want to emulate the star wars franchise by having six parts to the story, but imo (and everyone i know shares this o) 1-3 were awful. the phantom menace sucked.....bad, and the clone wars was a little upsetting. the only part i enjoyed in episode II was the yoda fight scene, even though it was cg. episode 3 started to bring the series back to it's roots and that was kinda cool to see. so plz 2k, if you want to keep the kind of feel that the first came created, and u plan on trying to recreate that 6 times, be careful that you don't wander off into.....certain other territories. bcuz i swear if i run into a frickin gungan in rapture there'll be hell to pay!!

I think that this is bad news, but let me explain. I loved Bioshock one of the best games ever but after number 2 or 3 it's going to feel stale and boring. Hartmann says he doesn't want to make it the Matrix but really he does because the makers of the Matrix made a truck load of money and that's what every company wants to do. I think the team that made Bioshock has alot of talent and instead of making them pump out sequels every year or two make one or two more Bioshock games then let them be creative and see what they come up with, who knows it might be even better than Bioshock.
