BioShock Add-On Content Hitting the PS3 Today

Keith Shetler, assistant producer at 2K Boston, has posted some news over on the PlayStation Blog that should get owners of BioShock for the PS3 pretty excited. The Challenge Rooms Add-On Content pack will be hitting the PlayStation Network today for $9.99 with two new play modes: New Game Plus and Challenge Rooms which are promised to add new twists to the game.

New Game Plus allows you to start a new supercharged playthrough of the game where you begin the game with any weapons, abilities, and inventory that you collected during a previous playthrough.

Challenge Rooms are puzzle rooms where the objective is to rescue a Little Sister where you can fight a Big Daddy without any weapons or try and survive room after room of Splicers.

It was hard enough as it was to bring down a Big Daddy, but the thought of trying to do it without any weapons pretty much terrifies me. Seriously, if you would have hooked me up to a heart monitor while I was playing this game, my pulse would have made the thing overheat every single time I encountered one of those bad boys.
