It has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide. It is often regarded as one of the best video games of the year, of the seventh generation of consoles, and one of the greatest video games ever made. The game was supported post-launch with downloadable content, including the story expansion Burial at Sea, which links Infinite 's story to that of the original BioShock game.īioShock Infinite received critical acclaim, with praise particularly directed at its story, setting, and visual art design. Development was troubled, and the game underwent significant changes from its originally-demonstrated forms at trade shows. Irrational Games and creative director Ken Levine based the game's setting on historical events at the turn of the 20th century, such as the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and based the story on the concept of American exceptionalism, while also incorporating influences from more recent events at the time such as the 2011 Occupy movement.
The player controls Booker Dewitt throughout the game, fighting enemies and scavenging supplies, while the AI-controlled Elizabeth provides assistance.
Elizabeth possesses the ability to manipulate "Tears" in the space-time continuum that ravage Columbia, and Booker and Elizabeth discover she is central to the city's dark secrets. Booker rescues Elizabeth and the two become involved in a class war between the nativist Founders that rule Columbia and the rebel Vox Populi representing the city's underclass. The game is set in the year 1912 and follows its protagonist, Booker DeWitt, who is sent to the airborne city of Columbia to retrieve a young woman held captive, named Elizabeth. The third installment in the BioShock series, Infinite was released worldwide for the Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and OS X platforms in 2013. BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter video game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K Games.
