Package Delivery From… Bioshock 2?

It’s no surprise that much anticipated games are getting unique coverage, but this blows just about everything we’ve seen out of the water. The last time a company did something like this was Valve, when they delivered TF2 keychains to all the fans who mailed their Force of Nature advertisement back to them. However, this goes completely above and beyond this.

Yesterday, a telegram was delivered to several of the people of the Network 23 blog who wrote in to a mysterious P.O. Box number which was found on the Bioshock 2 website earlier this year. The telegram read:

ISIDORE VOUCHES THAT YOU ARE TRUSTWORTHY BE ON LOOK-OUT FOR A PACKAGE FURTHER EXPLANATION FORTHCOMING YOUR HELP URGENTLY NEEDED

Now, the packages have been delivered, and what exactly did they contain? Why, Splicer masks, of course. Two different people posted pictures on the Network 23 blog of their masks, which are included below. As you can see, they’re quite interesting. The leader included reads as follows:

Dear Friend:

Phil Isidore (of N.U.F.O.S.) has vouched that you are a trustworthy individual. Please – closely guard the contents of this package. I have sent it direct via courier out of concern that gov’t personnel or unknown individuals may attempt to intercept it.

As you may know, I have been investigating anomalous phenomena related to the disappearence of my daughter. In the past, you’ve provided information that has helped my research. Now I need your input in a matter of utmost urgency.

I discovered the enclosed item in basement workshop owned by Orrin Oscar Lutwidge. I am desperately trying to uncover more regarding it’s origin, manufacture, etc. Please examine it and let me know what you make of it.

Any information could help me find my daughter.

Thanks,

Mark Meltzer

Awesome marketing technique, 2KGames, and love the masks.
