Following recent reports that the critically acclaimed underwater adventure BioShock is making its way to the PlayStation 3, publisher Take-Two Interactive today officially confirmed that the game is indeed planned for an October release on Sony's console.

Furthermore, Take-Two said that PS3 owners will be getting a "genetically enhanced" version, meaning that the PS3 SKU will bring "exciting new content" to players.

"Since BioShock for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows won countless 2007 Game of the Year awards, we are excited to see the impact of this stellar title for the PlayStation 3 system when it debuts this fall," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Over the coming months we look forward to revealing the new features and content that will make this a must-have game for its new audience, as well as for those who enjoyed it on the other platforms."
