2K: BioShock Could Have Five Sequels

While one can normally assume that we hopefully won’t be seeing any more of BioShock beyond the upcoming sequel, 2K Games president breaks all assumptions by suggesting that we could actually see up to five sequels, though he notes that the company is taking care to ensure it won’t “cash in” on the franchise.

“If we spin [BioShock] the right way and get the right twist of innovation, we can make six parts of it, as Star Wars did,” said 2K president Christoph Hartmann. “Look at Star Wars. It’s a fight between good and evil, just like BioShock.”

“But we have to be careful not to cash in,” he added. “Because [BioShock] is so story driven, the question obviously arises: how long can you do it without turning into The Matrix? The first Matrix was great, the second one was weird and the third one, you thought: ‘Who [making this] is on crack and who isn’t?’”

The second entry – Sea of Dreams – is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year.
