Creeping through the corridors of Rapture, the term “time trials” usually doesn’t come to mind. That’s because wood-grained radios, flapper dresses and grandma’s record collection echoing in the darkness define BioShock’s underwater city, not speed boosts or a Crystal Method soundtrack. Yet very soon, the time-trial gameplay concept will hit BioShock, along with a host of other ideas that will push this dystopian world into uncharted waters.

On Nov. 20, a BioShock downloadable content pack will be available on the PlayStation Network for $9.99 (no plans yet for the Xbox 360). These new challenges work within the existing gameplay and environment (same weapons, plasmid powers and grandma’s records). But they’re completely independent of the primary game’s now-famous storyline, and deviate from its established gameplay.

2K Games announced that the PS3 exclusive add-on game content for BioShock will be available for download worldwide on November 20 from the PlayStation Network.

On Friday we reported that a special trailer found in the PS3 version of BioShock revealed some slight details on Bioshock 2, leading many to speculate that the next game in the series would actually be a sequel. But according to comments from 2K Marin, the game is both a prequel and a sequel to 2K Games’ popular action game. Commenting to WhatIfGaming, an undisclosed 2K Marin representative had this to say:

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams is part of a prequel and at the same time is a sequel, so you’re kind of close on the interpretation of the trailer. The rising replica of Rapture can represent something to do with this or something part of a bigger surprise that everyone has to wait and see to play. —- 2K Marin Dev CH.

How the game will flow from prequel to sequel we do not know, but it sounds like it will be an interesting ride.
