Bioshock Infinite
BioShock Infinite is an upcoming first-person shooter video game, and the third game in the BioShock series.
The
primary setting of BioShock Infinite is a city suspended in the air by
giant blimps and balloons, called "Columbia", named in homage to the
female personification of the United States. Unlike the secret
development of the underwater city of Rapture used as the settings for
BioShock and BioShock 2, Columbia was built and launched in 1900 by the
American government to much fanfare and publicity.
The events of
the game take place in 1912. The player assumes the identity of Booker
DeWitt, a disgraced former agent of the Pinkerton National Detective
Agency, who was dismissed for behavior beyond the acceptable bounds of
the Agency.
He is hired by mysterious individuals, aware of
Columbia's location, and tasked to infiltrate the air-city and rescue a
young woman named Elizabeth, who has been held aboard the air-city for
the last twelve years.
Though DeWitt finds Elizabeth easily
enough, he quickly discovers that Elizabeth is central to the civil war
raging in the city as each faction seeks to use Elizabeth to turn the
tide of the conflict in their favor, forcing DeWitt and Elizabeth to
trust each other in order to escape.
Developed by Irrational Games for a 2012 release on the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.
