The Rapture will include classy dames and longshoremen. Or maybe ship captains. There are new details on the pre-order bonus available with Bioshock 2 when the game is on shelves next year. With a $5 pre-order available exclusively at US and Canadian EB Game/GameStop store players will receive a code to unlock two new characters in the Bioshock 2 multiplayer: Zigo d`Acosta and Mile Blanche de Glace. What is it about a woman wielding plasmids in a cocktail dress? And then there’s the longshoreman; menial labor and hip waders build the foundation of Rapture. And hard Rs. It ha​s been confirmed that the Bioshock 2 multiplayer takes place before the events of the New Yearès incident that caused the collapse of Rapture; it seems like the choice of exclusive pre-order characters might make a statement of the economic disparity amongst the people living in the Rapture community. Could Karl Marx or Marie Antoinette appear in the dystopian landscapes of Rapture? Maybe Marx will have the Manifesto as his melee weapon. If you wish to possess two other characters you won’t choose in the multiplayer, and you think this justifies the $5 pre-order (you are going to buy the game anyways, right?), then you should head to your local EB/GameStop right now; you never know when those digital downloads will sell out.
