2K has plans for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
 
BioShock 2 is getting a healthy dose of new downloadable content.
 
Publisher 2K announced today it would be bringing new singleplayer and multiplayer content to the title over the next couple months. The first addition, Sinclair Solutions Test Pack, will be available starting this March.
 
"The fans who waited in the snow, rain and cold for the midnight launch of BioShock 2 have spoken and their message is that Rapture still has many fascinating stories to tell," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.
 
"Downloadable content is a key part of our efforts to continue to entice the fans that have made 2K a household name - we intend to deliver single and multiplayer content that respects and expands upon one of the greatest fictional worlds ever created."
 
The Sinclair Solutions Test Pack enhances BioShock 2's multiplayer component by adding new characters, rank rewards, and weapon upgrades. It will cost you 400 Microsoft points on Xbox LIVE or $4.99 from PlayStation Network. Here's the breakdown of everything you'll get:
 
• Rank Increase to level 50 with Rank Rewards • New playable characters Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca • 20 new trials* • A third weapon upgrade for each weapon • Five additional masks*
 
*Some items are only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher.
 
While 2K didn't get too specific with its planned single player content in today's announcement, the publisher says it will include "more narrative, new tools and new challenges."
