Get ready for some more A.D.A.M.-fueled action… a Czech gaming site is reporting that a BioShock prequel may be coming out in the Summer of 2009. 2K’s official word is that there is no news of any sort of a BioShock follow-up, but the Summer 2009 release date is consistent with 2K’s own word during an investor’s call in September saying that another BioShock should be ready to hit the shelves in “two or three years”.

I’m taking the news with a grain of salt… but that’s not gonna keep my fingers from being crossed that this happens.
