BioShock Infinite (http://www.joystiq.com/game/bioshock-infinite) may not arrive until 2013 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/09/bioshock-infinite-delayed/), but the underwater world of Rapture is getting a re-release, at least in the UK, in the form of "BioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition." A British Board of Film Classification listing was spotted by Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-15-bioshock-ultimate-rapture-edition-outed) (since pulled) that outs the bundle, which apparently includes both BioShock 1 and 2, as well as "all its DLC add-ons."
Publisher 2K Games hasn't confirmed the repackaging or given any official details on it, so it's unclear if the bundle will head Stateside or stay in the UK. As BioShock 2 launched with a "Rapture Edition" (http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/bioshock-2-rapture-edition-zavvi-uk-exclusive/10075988.html?vtp=b) that was specific to the UK, it stands to reason that this is the UK-specific bundle.
Update: 2K Games reps tell Joystiq, "We have nothing to announce at this time." So, like, soon then, right?
