D.E. to help in the development of Bioshock for the PS3.

2K Games announced today that it has signed an agreement with Digital Extremes to assist in the development of BioShock for the PS3. Shipping to retailers in October 2008 with new features and content, the PS3 version of BioShock is being developed by 2K Marin, 2K Boston, 2K Australia and Digital Extremes.

"By partnering with Digital Extremes, 2K Games is delivering a fully optimized experience that takes advantage of the PlayStation 3 system hardware," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Bringing Digital Extremes on board allows us to continue to deliver the best experience possible to our fans."

"When 2K approached us to assist with development on BioShock for the PS3, it was a no-brainer," said James Schmalz, CEO and founder of Digital Extremes. "You really can't ask for a more exciting, technically impressive world to work in than Rapture, and the incredible knowledge and talent between the 2K studios and our team at Digital Extremes is unprecedented. The collaboration on this project will make the PlayStation 3 sing with Big Daddy goodness and Little Sister 'thank you's'."
