Break out the Rapture wine! 2K Games has now given a new official release date for the long awaited FPS sequel BioShock 2 this morning. The game, originally scheduled to come out this fall, will now be released on February 9, 2010. The PC version has also been confirmed as a Games For Windows Live title.

While the single player portion of BioShock 2, which takes place after the events of the first game, is being handled by 2K Marin, the all new multiplayer portion of the title is being created by Digital Extremes. 2K Australia and 2K China are also involved in the game's development. BioShock 2 will be just one of many major game titles that will be released in the first quarter of 2010, thanks in part to delays that pushed many games from their planned fall 2009 debuts.
