Cosplayer Recreates ‘BioShock 2’ Big Sister That’s Scarily Screen-Accurate
I’m not the only one who’s a sucker for amazing cosplay, and Jaime StoneDead (with help from photographer Postmorbid) has created an amazing-looking tribute to BioShock 2 in the form of a Big Sister. What’s even more impressive is that the photos eerily look like they were screenshots from the actual game!
The photos were posted to the BioShock subreddit, and have predictably gotten an amazing response. Granted, there was some Photoshopping involved, but it was minimal. “There was light editing done to bring up my costumes lights, to combat the lights we had on set,” explains Jaime. Overall, the whole process took “about 3 months and all day on the weekends.”
You can check out more shots from the shoot on Jaime’s Instagram. As for when we’ll be seeing the return of the BioShock franchise, 2K is apparently working on it.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
