The next time you'll see the lush, underwater world of BioShock's Rapture will be on a mobile phone's screen. Big Daddy isn't looking so big anymore.
A press release tells us that IG Fun, the international publishing arm of Indiagames has just secured the global rights to develop and publish BioShock for the mobile phone platform. I know what you're thinking: BioShock on a phone?
Sean Malatesta, CEO, IG Fun said, "We're trying to do great things and BioShock on mobile promises to offer a whole new gaming experience and unmatched excitement amongst mobile gamers the world over. BioShock is a special game in its genre; it brings an element of conflicting morals which has an impact on the storyline, and, among other things, on the difficulty of the game itself."
Vishal Gondal, Founder & CEO, Indiagames Ltd. added, "Bio-shock on mobile will herald the next level in mobile game development and gameplay experience. The PC and console version of the game has already been a huge hit and we are confident of replicating the success on the mobile platform too."
I really wish I could tell you more about the game, but IG Fun gives us nothing more than a few quotes and some copypasta from the BioShock Wikipedia page.
Even with my super-loaded imagination, I cannot begin to imagine what a mobile version of BioShock would look like. Is your love for BioShock strong enough to lead you to a miniature Rapture?

I'm all for this.
I don't care either way though. I'm not a fan of BioShock.
If you would like to save the Little Sister, press two."
People need to just stop buying cell phone games, so that they'll just stop making them.
No, really, someone tell me.
