The artbook includes a foreword written by BioShock's director, Ken Levine, which lists the graphic artists who were influential in the design of the game. Concept art shows the creative progression of the design for the game logo, the iconic enemy, the weapons, and the locations of BioShock. Until October 1, 2007, 2K Games sent a rare printed version of the artbook to the owners of the BioShock Limited Collector’s Edition whose Big Daddy figurines had been broken, as compensation for the time it took to replace them.
