We had seen a rage among the PC gamers on official forum of the company for being left away on DLC projects as favored the gamers on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Lately, 2K Games apologized all the PC gamers for their cancellation of BioShock 2 DLCs – Minerva’s Den and The Protector Trails. The developer has now resumed the development of these two DLCs and it will be coming soon on PCs.

2K Games’ representative Elizabeth Tobey said few days before: “We have resumed development… and they will be coming to PC,” said company representative Elizabeth Tobey.”

Elizabeth also mentioned that the project was axed because there were some unresolved bugs that would trigger problesm during specific situations with the game. The developer could not fix up the issues on time and so they had to move on to other new projects.

Tobey also explained why earlier the projects were cancelled. She said 2K Games was working in building the Protector Trails, but some unresolved bugs were there, which still persists. She added that this would trigger some type of problems during specific situations during the game. The bug was not fixed on time by the developer and so they had to move on to other projects.

Well, let us thank to the harsh community that forced the maker of BioShock 2 to think over their cancelled project and offer to the PC gamers The Protector Trials this December. More to this, the content will be free.

Well, let us thank to the community that made the studio to think over it. Now, the PC gamers can expect The Protector Trials by December, if everything goes well. Moreover, the content will be absolutely free. Isn’t it some great news for the PC gamers?

This new Protector Trails is being developed by the core team of 2K Games and it contains a series of challenges mainly focussing on frantic fights and fast-paced action. In the game the goal seems simple, but it is tough to achieve. One of tips here is to keep the Little Sister safe from the intense onslaught of Splicers.

Below are the details of what the pack includes:

> 6 new maps of which three are unique difficulty levels based on BioShock 2’s favorite locales.
> New unlockables that include never-before-seen concept art and videos.
> 7 new Achievements/Trophies

Let’s hear what 2K Games said. It said that if a fan wants to play this map in a public match, then a lobby full of players is required who have also purchased the content.

In the group if anyone does not have the new map content then the game will automatically put the gamer into a game using previously released and nothing from the new one.

In an official statement the Community Manager of 2K said, “We couldn’t assume that all users would purchase the maps, so we made a design decision to unify the user base in order to provide the best gameplay experience possible. The DLC maps will cycle into the rotation if everyone in the room owns them, otherwise the game will load the base maps. If users want a more direct control over their experience they can create private matches which they can set to play just the DLC maps.”

Write here if you have purchased the new content and are facing similar problems.

There are three new Achievements/Trophies to it and the level cap has also been raised to 50. At this point players can access a Rebirth feature and it will allow them to rank back down to level 1 and at simultaneously receive a special mask. At this point of time the DLC will be available on Windows Games only and later on it will be arriving for LIVE Marketplace for 800 MS Points.

Two more multiplayer expansion has been also released by 2K Games. The first one is named “Kill ‘Em Kindly,” and it is free to download. This expansion includes a new melee-based game mode and in this players can fight to the death by using golf clubs.

The second expansion is named “Character Pack” and it will cost 160 MS Points and $2 on the PS Network. This is also a downloadable pack and it includes two new characters for use in multiplayer. These characters are Zigo the Fisherman and Blanche the Actress.

In the coming months few more expansions are slated to arrive.

* Its rank has been increased to level 50
* There is also a rebirth feature and it will be giving the players an option to rank down to level first and get special mask, but only to those players who have reached Rank 50.
* Now there will be 3 new achievements/trophies also

Earlier 2K Games also released two separate multiplayer expansions for BioShock 2. The first expansion was ‘Kill’em Kindly’ and it had players fighting to the death and that too only with golf clubs. For Xbox 360 and PS3 it is a free download.

The second expansion was the ‘Character Pack’ and it adds two new characters to the multiplayer mode. For 160 Microsoft Points (AU$2.60) it is available on the Xbox 360 and for PS3 it costs AU$3.45.

According to him, in the marketing strategy, the challenge was twofold. He said that 2K is going to sell this new sequel to those fans even who “weren’t convinced that they needed a sequel”. It is also a challenge because the newcomers might not have been familiar with the original BioShock.

However, it is lately seen that the new sequel has been given much attention from retailers and this is just because of the success the original BioShock.

Bass said, “With the second one, retail was super stoked for it and just the level of presence we were given was amazing.” He also added further that the community built around it predecessor helped to “evangelize” the sequel.

Matt Gorman on the other hand said that the team was happy with the reception of the new sequel. He said, “There were few times you could turn around and not see BioShock 2 during February.”

Tom Bass, the marketing director, and Matt Gorman, the marketing VP, had given the presentation. They started it with a frank admission. Gorman said that the fans were not looking forward to BioShock 2, but “they held it as a very special experience, and a lot of the focus test research we did afterward, people said they didn’t want any more BioShock.”

The team also identified 3 groups who they wanted to market the game. Those are, the fans of the original, hardcore gamers who skipped it, and also the casual console gamers who might wait for the God of War III or the Mass Effect 2 instead of buying BioShock 2.

Gorman said, “The first thing that came to our mind was, everything we did with BioShock we had to throw away” when it came to the marketing plan.”

He added further, “We didn’t even open the marketing plan,” said Bass. The plan for BioShock 2 was to “focus on the newness, focus on the Big Sister.” The problem was that after the initial push, gamers said, “That’s great. What’s next?”
