2K Games and Irrational recently announced BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition, a collection of both the games that have been released so far, and it’s due out in North America on January 14th.

We contacted 2K Games to ask if it’ll remain a North America exclusive release, and we were told that it will indeed be released in other regions “At a later date”.

“To answer your query, the BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition will be available in some international territories at a later date,” is what we were told.

BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition compiles BioShock and BioShock 2 and all their DLCs, including Museum of Orphaned Concepts, Plasmids Pack, Challenge Rooms Pack, Sinclair Solutions Tester, Rapture Metro, The Protector Trials and Minerva’s Den. It will include concept art as well, and all this will cost you just $29.99.

There will be some more content in the collection. You can read all about it in our coverage through the link at the top of this story.

Stay tuned for more info.

The Ultimate Rapture Edition will cost $29.99 USD and includes Bioshock and Bioshock 2 along with a wealth of add-ons, some that will be making their way to the Xbox 360 for the first time. These include the Museum of Orphaned Concepts, Plasmids Pack, Challenge Rooms Pack, Sinclair Solutions Tester, Rapture Metro, The Protector Trials and Minerva’s Den. The content spreads across single player, multiplayer and even manages to show some intriguing concept art along the way.

There will also be an exclusive collectable sticker pack from Columbia, the world of Bioshock Infinite, for gamers to collect. Whether it’s worth the return trip (and back) down under to Rapture remains to be seen when the game releases on the 14th.
