2K Games has announced that the BioShock: The Collection will be released on September 13th. 2K Games and Blind Squirrel Games have remastered the games for current-gen platforms, and you can view the debut trailer for BioShock: The Collection below.

BioShock: The Collection includes all three BioShock games, complete with all single-player DLC and a never-before-seen video series with commentary from Ken Levine.

2K Games noted that while BioShock 1 and 2 have been remastered for the PC, BioShock Infinite is not. According to the company, the original PC version already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.

It’s also worth noting that if you already own BioShock 1, BioShock 2, and/or Minerva’s Den, you’ll get the upgraded versions free.

Here are the key features of the bundle:

BioShock

  •  The video series, “Director’s Commentary: Imagining BioShock,” featuring Ken Levine, creative director on BioShock and BioShock Infinite and Shawn Robertson, animation lead onBioShock and animation director on BioShock Infinite.

  • Challenge Rooms: Outside the story of BioShock, tackle puzzles, splicers and Big Daddies. And achievements, of course.

BioShock 2 (**Multiplayer will not be included)
