‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea’ Concludes Today, Watch The Launch Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea is finally set to conclude today, and Irrational Games has just debuted the launch trailer for the anticipated DLC.

Sadly, it’s also the final release that we’ll see from the now-closed developer. Ken Levine announced back in February that the studio would be shutting down, making today bittersweet day, as the studio was responsible for some of the best games of this generation.

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be playing today. The DLC will be available as soon as the respectable stores are updated.

Briefly: We’re just five days away from the anticipated release of Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea‘s second chapter, and Irrational Games has release a trio of new screenshots for the DLC.

In the shots, we see more of Rapture’s innate beauty, and also Elizabeth, looking extremely battered and bloody.

Take a look at the new screenshots below, and let us know what you hope to see in the DLC! Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea – Episode 2 releases on March 25th!

New ‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea’ Promo Has Irrational Team Members Sharing Their Favourite Moments

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Ken Levine surprised all of us last month when he announced the closure of the acclaimed Irrational Games.

Irrational’s last project, the closing chapter to the Bioshock Infinite story DLC, Burial at Sea, will launch on March 25th (and I’m really looking forward to it). Irrational today launched a new promo for the chapter, which has (now ex) team members sharing their favourite moments of working on the DLC.

It’s a touching video, and many of the developers look truly heartbroken to be participating in what is basically a ‘looking for work’ ad. I sure hope that each and every one of them finds a new home soon.

Take a look at the promo below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the DLC.

‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea’ To Conclude On March 25th, Be Substantially Longer Than The First Chapter!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Today, Irrational Games revealed just when we’ll finally be able to play the second and concluding chapter of Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea.

The episode will launch globally on Steam, PS3, and Xbox 360 on March 25th. As before, the DLC will cost $14.99 on all platforms (but you should have just purchased the $19.99 season pass instead.

The main criticism that players had with Burial at Sea‘s first chapter was that it was simply too short. The campaign could be completed in around two hours (which many stated did not warrant a $14.99 purchase). Ken Levine revealed on twitter yesterday that the next episode will be significantly longer:

 

So, did you enjoy the first chapter? Are you looking forward to the second? Did you watch the first three minutes of what happens next? Sound out below!

Take A First Look At ‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea – Episode 2’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Again, the video below definitely contains spoilers for the first episode of Burial at Sea. If you haven’t played, don’t watch!

Irrational Games has just debuted a first look at episode two of their Bioshock Infinite DLC, Buried at Sea. We already knew that episode two would have us playing as Elizabeth, but after the end of episode one, we were all left wondering just how things were going to work out.

It’s hard to say more without getting too spoilery, so just take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think. Burial at Sea – Episode Two is still without a release date, but as the video says, it’s ‘Coming Soon’, and you know that we can’t wait for it.

Watch The Launch Trailer For ‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Finally, finally, finally.

First teased all the way back in July, the first chapter of Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea launches today for Xbox 360, PS3, Windows, and OS X.

Irrational Games has just debuted a launch trailer for the DLC, which has me frantically refreshing the Playstation Store, waiting for it to appear. Bioshock Infinite has been one of my favourite titles on 2013, and I simply cannot wait to see Booker and Elizabeth in Andrew Ryan’s Rapture.

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know if you plan on playing today! Burial at Sea – Episode One costs a cool $14.99 (though you should probably just pick up the season pass for $19.99, which will include the second chapter).

On the eve of Rapture’s fall from grace, Elizabeth enlists Booker DeWitt’s services in locating a lost girl. Who is this girl Sally, what does Booker know of her supposed fate, and what is Elizabeth’s connection to this mysterious child? Find the answers to these questions and more in this new addition to BioShock Infinite, almost entirely from scratch by Irrational Games.

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

by Derek Kraneveldt

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!

Watch The First Five Minutes Of ‘Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Irrational Games has debuted a sweet, sweet, five minute preview of the highly anticipated Bioshock Infinite DLC, Burial at Sea.

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.

The first episode of Burial at Sea is set to release sometime before the end of the year. The five-minute preview provides a great introduction to the episode, but be warned: watching will make the wait that much harder.

Take a look at the opening five minutes below (if you dare), and let us know if you’re looking forward to it!
