Directly from the depths of Rapture comes an announcement we all saw coming. Those of you, and by you I mean Americans or Canadians, who pre-order BioShock 2 at either GameStop or EB Games will receive some special company for the new multiplayer mode.

Say hello to Zigo d’Acosta and Mlle Blanche de Glace or as we like to call them, the Beauty and the Beast. Currently not much is known about these two characters although we imagine they will play a pivotal role in the game or at least be enjoyable to play as.

Fear not our European friends, as the folks at 2K Games have not forgotten about you. Stay tuned to the Cult of Rapture for more details as they arise as well as any other multiplayer character announcements.
