  • A third weapon upgrade for each weapon 
  • Five additional masks
  • 20 new trials (some trials and masks will only be available after a player reaches rank 41)

Calling Rapture “one of the greatest fictional worlds ever created,” 2K Games President Christoph Hartmann revealed that the company plans to launch several DLC updates for for both the single-player and multiplayer components of BioShock 2 over the coming months. “The fans who waited in the snow, rain and cold for the midnight launch of BioShock 2 have spoken and their message is that Rapture still has many fascinating stories to tell,” he said.
