We're aiming for simultaneous release on all platforms (Xbox 360, PS3 and PC)," a company spokesperson told us, with the promise of details on the sequel's illusive multiplayer mode "soon enough". It's expected to release later this year.

The sequel was revealed in full last week via US mag Game Informer. If you haven't scrutinised every little detail like us, you should know that it takes place ten years after the original when the underwater city of Rapture's sunk further into the depths of despair.
