What Happens At The End Of BioShock 2?

BioShock 2

There’s hope yet for “BioShock 2.” It’s not like there was ever really any question about how good the follow up to one of 2007’s best games would be, but, there was one fatal flaw with the original – the last boss encounter.

After hours upon hours of both challenging and rewarding gameplay throughout the sunken city of Rapture, Jack Ryan works his way up to (spoiler alert) fighting Frank Fontaine in, what should have been, ultimate fight to end the game. However, for all the greatness that went into the rest of the game, the final fight was a bit of a letdown, feeling flat, and fairly easy compared to some of the other inhabitants of Rapture that Jack had to battle.

At a recent demo I asked “BioShock 2”’s Creative Director, Jordan Thomas, about whether or not whatever the end of his game holds a similar encounter, and, while there was very little he would actually confirm, here’s what he had to say:

“I am very spoiler adverse, so I won’t say much about the endgame, but I will say that it is heavily informed by all of your choices, and that we try hard to learn from the mistakes of the past. That’s as best as I can tell you about endgame stuff.”

So, it looks like 2K Marin has taken into consideration at least some of the concerns about what awaits the prototype Big Daddy that you play as, at the end of “BioShock 2,” and hopefully the endgame this time around will be as epic as every other aspect of the game.
