Bioshock Infinite Announced

The Bioshock series thus far has taken us through a city built with both the best of intentions and a healthy dose of insanity at its core, with nostalgic 1960s design drowning in the eerie darkness of one man's madness. It should come as no surprise that the next instalment continues with the same basic theme.

What is surprising, though, is for Infinite to be set 20,000 feet higher and bathed in brilliant sunshine; the open skies have given rise to more varied architecture, with quaint terraced housing in evidence amongst skyscrapers held aloft by gigantic dirigibles, while the fresh air gives stark contrast to the claustrophobia of underwater Rapture. It would be easy to forget that this is Bioshock, if not for the hulking, blood-thirsty monstrosity whose presence opens the trailer.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, don't expect to see Bioshock Infinite until next year, though a multi-platform release seems likely. Watch this space for more info.
