Bionic Commando Rearmed – FAQ

Gearoid Reidy

With the announcement of Bionic Commando Rearmed today, we thought we'd clear the air on a number of issues before any of the crazy rumors get rolling across the Internet. OK, given that the game was a secret until today, to say that these questions are "frequently asked" is a bit of a misnomer, but just roll with it, OK? There's lot of juicy information in here...

Wired into the community

Gearoid Reidy

Welcome everybody to the Bionic Commando community site.

In the crazy fast-paced world of the videogames industry, a title can be born, have a few sequels and fade into obscurity in only a couple of years. That makes it all the more amazing that twenty years after its release, Bionic Commando still means something to fans. Just think of how many Tetris games have come out since 1988, while our beloved Bionic Commando has only had two handheld remakes!
