Just a few minutes ago, a third entry in the popular BioShock franchise has been announced. The title called "BioShock Infinite" is currently being developed by Irrational Games, which were also responsible for the original title of 2007.
This time around, the game is not going to take place in the underwater city of Rapture, but in a flying town called Columbia.
"Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.
Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities."
