Update 2: This rumor has been debunked by 2K. We’ll bring you full detail as soon as we get our hands on the magazine ourselves.
Update: We’re going to run this one under “Rumor” until we get the magazine for ourselves.

As we mentioned earlier this week, the newest issue of Game Informer features a 10 page spread on Bioshock 2. The magazine is just beginning to make its way into consumers’ hands and, of course, they have been “kind” enough to post details all over the web.

From the details provided, Bioshock 2 is set to have some sort of co-op play, and will feature no Big Daddies. The story is set 7 years after the initial event in Rapture and follows a man named Jack Abbott, who has had his daughter kidnapped by a Big Sister. Abbott follows and tracks the Big Sister and upon confrontation gets knocked out and wakes up in the infamous Rapture. While searching for his daughter Abbott uncovers knowledge that the Soviets have discovered Rapture and plan to use its Atom against the United States. Jack proceeds to try to save the day, and his daughter in the process.

A host of new characters and even spliced up animals join the mix, along with some great new plasmids. Look for more details in the April issue of Game Informer on newsstands soon! Stay tuned to GPU for more on Bioshock 2!
