‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea – Episode One’ Release Date Announced!

Briefly: After showing us the DLC’s first five minutes earlier this month, Irrational Games has revealed just when we’ll be able to get our hands on Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea.

The first episode in the two-part Burial At Sea will launch on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Windows, and OS X on November 12th. The DLC costs a cool $14,99, though it’s probably a better idea to just buy the Season Pass for $19.99 which will also include episode two (plus the already released Clash in the Clouds DLC).

If you’re unaware, Burial at Sea takes Booker and Elizabeth (unbeknownst to their previous relationship) all the way down to Rapture on its fateful day, December 31, 1958. This, of course, is the night that Rapture fell, and is a night that hasn’t yet been explored in the series. Here, we’re set to live it. You’ll join Booker and Elizabeth in a film noir-style story that places them in a shining, pristine Rapture on the eve of its fall from grace. Explore the underwater city, try your hand at a grift or two, and even encounter some old “friends” from the original BioShock.

“This is a love letter to the fans, but it’s also the beginning of a story that will give gamers a new perspective on theBioShock universe,” said Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games. “With Burial at Sea, we built a Rapture not from BioShock and BioShock Infinite scraps and pieces, but with environments almost entirely crafted from scratch.”

Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Rewatch the Burial at Sea reveal trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be downloading the DLC!
