Minerva's Den (DLC)

Minerva's Den is the second singleplayer DLC for BioShock 2 that was released on August 31 for Xbox 360 (800 Microsoft Points) and PlayStation 3 ($9.99), and in a later date on Games for Windows Live.

Minerva's Den is a self-contained narrative experience that puts players in the role of another Alpha Series Big Daddy called Subject Sigma revived by Charles Milton Porter. He has teamed up with Brigid Tenenbaum to unravel Reed Wahl's stranglehold in Rapture Central Computing. Rapture Central Computing houses The Thinker, a gigantic super computer created by Porter and controlling the district. The player will have access to a new set of weapons, the only one known so far being the Ion Lance. A new plasmid, Gravity Well, is set to appear. New Splicers are set to appear such as the fiery brute splicers, as is the Lancer, a new Big Daddy type capable of using the aforementioned Ion Lance. Also, splicers in the DLC have new voice recordings and outfits. Security Bots will have an expanded range of weaponry, and will be outfitted with rocket launchers, Ion Lances, and electric attacks along with the standard machine gun.

Trivia

 * Minerva is the Roman name of Athena. Both are goddesses of wisdom, which seems to apply to Rapture Central Computing which is in Minerva's Den (named as such to prevent it from being confused with Athena's Glory).
