BioShock: Rapture
BioShock: Rapture is a 2011
Development
The novel was made public on July 17, 2009 when Levine was interviewed by Gamasutra.[3] Rapture was originally planned to coincide with the release of BioShock 2 in February 2010. The delay in publication was due to Shirley having to work in the story and elements from BioShock 2 and to get them approved by Levine.[4] In January 2011, the release date was announced as March 1, 2011.[5] One month later, the date was delayed to July 19, 2011.[6] A French translation by Cédric Degottex was released February 17, 2016 published by Bragelonne. A Turkish translation by Kerem Ergener, and published by Ithaki Publishing, was released in 2016.[7][8]
Reception
Ian Hunter, writing for the British Fantasy Society, described the book as "essential" for fans of the Bioshock games.[9] Joe Martin, writing for Bit-Tech, called the first third of the book an "uphill struggle" but overall described the novel as "fundamentally decent".[10]
