The architect of BioShock, IG Fun LLC has announced that it has go the rights to a mobile game version of BioShock, which is one of the most critically acclaimed first-person shooters in the history of video gaming. The game's genius lies, amongst other things, in its mix of atmosphere, narrative, pace, level design, RPG elements and moral-based gameplay.

The company’s decision to bring BioShock to cell phones is a curious one, but it will be interesting to see how IG Fun tackles BioShock's trademark visuals and marvelous soundtrack, to say nothing of the fast-paced, plasmid-fueled combat.

According to IG Fun, transferring all of this (BioShock) successfully to mobile while managing to retain the game's essence is a challenge, undoubtedly, though one that isn't impossible.

Sean Malatesta, IG Fun's CEO, said, "We're trying to do great things and BioShock on mobile promises to offer a whole new gaming experience and unmatched excitement amongst mobile gamers the world over."

"BioShock is a special game in its genre; it brings an element of conflicting morals which has an impact on the storyline, and, among other things, on the difficulty of the game itself," he said.

The company has assured that it will squeeze the game into cell phones successfully, but it hasn’t revealed the release date yet.
