Interesting thing is, the next game in the BioShock franchise might actually be a MMORPG. It was hinted in two articles I read about 2K Boston (BioShock 2) giving up development for the next BioShock game to another studio.

Also, assuming the game is a sequel and not a prequel, the only way they could keep the game story in Rapture (now that Eleanor has escaped to the surface) is to make it revolve around the few inhabitants left in the city. Now that the most of the major and powerful characters are dispatched or gone, Rapture has no single character to take power.
