About BioShock Infinite
From the creators of the highest-rated first-person shooter of all
time*, BioShock, and with over 80 editorial awards to date, BioShock
Infinite puts players in the shoes of U.S. Cavalry veteran turned hired
gun, Booker DeWitt. Indebted to the wrong people and with his life on
the line, DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He
must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and
locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another,
Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape.
Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and
abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed
Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the
threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.
BioShock Infinite is planned to launch globally on March 26, 2013 for
the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. For more
