It seems we won’t have to wait long before we get our next fix of the excellent Bioshock 2, as 2K has announced its plan to bring Minerva’s Den, described as a ‘self-contained narrative experience’, to the game’s well-received single-player campaign.

According to 2K President Christoph Hartmann, players will get the chance to take the helm of a brand new character, teamed with returning face, Brigid Tenenbaum in a bid to free a previously unexplored district of Rapture from the grasp of a tyrannical ruler.

Hartmann elaborated by saying, ‘Minerva’s Den is a substantial addition that will give players more of what they’re looking for: more story, more narrative, more gameplay and more of Rapture… Minerva’s Den will be a fitting conclusion to the Bioshock 2 saga.’

While the specifics have yet to be detailed, the download will feature new Plasmids, weapons, Splicers, rocket-powered security bots and even a brand new type of Big Daddy.

Those itching for more Bioshock 2 can head on over to the Playstation Network and Xbox Marketplace for the defence-centric Protector Trials, where they’ll be tasked with guarding the Little Sisters as they harvest that all-important mutagen, ADAM.

So is more single-player content what you’ve been waiting for, or will it add little to what was already a well-spun, tightly woven tale?

Still pending a release date, Minerva’s Den will be available to download for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
