New Evidence Surfaces for ‘BioShock’ Bundle
Hey 2K, would you kindly confirm the existence of a BioShock bundle so I can start clearing space on my console for the inevitable Big Daddy-sized download it’ll require of me? I get that you want to make a big fuss about it with a fancy press release and a trailer that shows off the myriad recognitions and Game of the Year awards the series has received so far. We know these games are the cat’s pajamas, you don’t need to sell us on it.
BioShock: The Collection still isn’t official, though it has been listed by South African retailer Raru, and by ratings boards in Brazil and Taiwan. The few precious details we have came from those three sources, which also mentioned a release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
