BioShock 2 fan-made concept art - Image 1 


We don't hear much about publishers paying attention to fan art glorifying their games, but 2K Games definitely took note of one artist who released a set of concept art for what could easily be Bioshock's (Microsoft Xbox 360, PC) actual successor.

Ben Mauro, a college student taking architecture who's a year from graduation, created pieces of art that are almost indistinguishable from what Bioshock developers would dish out. 2K Games reportedly commented that they "really loved" what Mauro did and wants to thank the person directly.

According to Ripten, the website which originally hosted the artworks, Mauro was more than happy to receive recognition from 2K Games itself. Looking back at how Valve employed a group of college students to make the massive hit Portal, we can't help but wonder if Ken Levine will work with Mauro for the Bioshock sequel we're all yearning for.
