BioShock 2's Subtitle Saga

[wraggster]

When 2K Games released the first trailer for its upcoming BioShock sequel, Rapture fans were held rapt by the brief teaser, which showed a young girl standing by the ocean at sunset among a tight group of stylized sandcastle skyscrapers. The scene faded slowly into a barnacle-covered Bioshock 2 logo, and the phrase "Sea of Dreams" floated up from the bottom of the screen.

It's was a pretty short leap to the assumption that "Sea of Dreams" was the subtitle of the sequel, but 2K corrected the record on March 19th, saying the game is officially called Bioshock 2, which no subtitle. So why the confusion? Was Sea of Dreams dropped as a subtitle, or was it just an evocative phrase meant to get gamers going early on?

"We name most of our trailers at 2K and the name of the teaser trailer we released last October for BioShock 2 is called 'Sea of Dreams,' 2K spokesman Charlie Sinhaseni told IGN. "There was talk about adding that as an official subtitle, but we decided to simply keep it BioShock 2. We're sorry for the confusion, but we're glad people are so interested."

So there you have it. BioShock 2 has no subtitle. But if you'd like to turn your experience in Rapture into a sea of dreams when the game releases later this year, we're pretty sure 2K won't be able to stop you.
