BioShock 2 in development?

Recently, there was news of Take 2 Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K Games, taking a loan of a couple of hundreds of millions of dollars for game development throughout the whole Christmas season. Of course, we thought it was solely for the development of Grand Theft Auto IV, but it seems that there is more to that.

Apparently, it seems that 2K games have set up a studio in San Francisco, California to be named 2K Marin. They are currently assigned to work on BioShock 2 and are looking for a lead animator. Although a continuation of the series is assured, it also appears that the the developers of the original Bioshock, the 2K Boston and 2K Australia crew, won’t be on development duties for the game.

However, most of the Bioshock development team will be leaving 2K Boston and 2K Australia to form 2K Marin, and they are essentially forming a new development team from scratch, while 2K Australia is working on a rumored Project X, part of the X-Com games series that 2K games acquired rights of.

Take 2 Interactive cannot be reached when contacted by GameSpot, but there is certainately enough evidence on the internet to prove that 2K Games’ newly formed Marin studio is in fact working on BioShock 2. More information of the game should be released in due time.
