The bathysphere including official information on BioShock: The Collection has yet to surface, but that's not stopped the North American ratings board ESRB from temporarily classifying the forthcoming PlayStation 4 compilation. While the info's since been pulled, this is the third time that the title's leaked – we even recently got a glimpse at its box art. 2K Games, incredibly, is still yet to acknowledge the reports.
According to the text included alongside the remaster's mature rating, all three PlayStation 3 entries in the BioShock brand will be included in the package. That, for those not up to date with their dystopian first-person shooters, means that BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite will all be available on the PS4 should this set ever actually release.
We can only imagine that the publisher's waiting until E3 or some other event to announce this one. Here's our message for the firm: would you kindly spill the beans?

Just as bad as the PS4K Leaks everywhere
@SKC_Diamond would that mean the PS4K is the PS4k's worst kept secret?
@SKC_Diamond Amazingly, this is worse!
I actually would really enjoy this. I thought Infinite was a really great game and I never got around to playing the first 2, so having them all in an up to date package would be pretty sweet imo.
I actually thought Infinite was the worse game of the series. I mean don't get me wrong it's a good game but lost the BioShock feel IMO.
I greatly prefer Rapture over Columbia.
My favorite part of Infinite was the the Burial at Sea DLC that takes place in Rapture. That was top notch.
Looking forward to this! But more importantly we want a Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered release!?!?!
BioShock was definitely one of the best and defining games of last gen. Unfortunately 2 didn't quite live up to or capture the same essence of the first and added what can only be described as a 'poor' MP. Infinite's Columbia setting lost all the atmosphere of the the first 2. Rapture gives you that dark, claustrophobic feeling and potential drowning too.At most, Columbia prays on the fear of falling but its bright and colourful setting instils very little sense of fear or foreboding.
By all accounts, the best thing about 2 was Minerva's Den and 3's was Burial at Sea. Its telling that both are DLC additions and all are set in Rapture.
I still have all 3 games but would consider a 'remastered' collection - just for the first game alone - add in all the DLC too and that 'might buy' becomes a 'probably will buy'
I'll double dip!
Has 2K fired their media and advertising team? Seriously, first X-Com launches on Vita under the cover of night, then Civ Rev 2 releases without a word, now there haven't said a word about this collection despite numerous leaks. What is going on over there?
Hope this is actually coming! I mean, it's pretty definite at this point, but you never know.
Bioshock 2 was actually my favourite of the trilogy, I loved the different perspective and thought the gameplay was the best of the lot, though the whole series is excellent. Definitely wouldn't be opposed to playing through them again!
Why wasnt Shenmue released last gen? We would have a collection by now since all these guys remake are PS3 games.
Since I've only played the 3rd one for 2-3 hours before I lost interest but I've always wanted to play the first 2 on better hardware...I'm getting this if its around 40 euros.
Will gladly play all three again. BS1 was the best though, a work of art
There is always a man, always a city, always a remaster.
Depending on price, I think this might be really good value.
Great news! I played the first two, and ended up trading them in years ago...regretting it later on. I wanted to purchase them again, but kept on wanting more for PS4 instead, so this will be good to entice me to re-buy them on PS4! Is this coming out this year, while we wait for a new one in the series to come out in 2017???
I'm definitely getting this remaster trilogy on PS4 when it arrives. I loved the first game but didn't buy the other two because the series had horrendous screen tear on PS3.
I played Infinite free on PSN plus and loved it, but not as much as the first game. It will be a treat to play all three in 1080p clarity without any screen tear.
@get2sammyb Do we really have anything but rumours on the PS4K. I have heard a lot of different things without any conformation of Sony not even what kind of upgrade it is.
Hopefully they are truly remasters and not only 1080p60, the third games holds remarkably well (high 1080p on PC, its still a great looking game), but the plastic look of Bio1 and 2 didnt hold up well, at all...
