About BioShock Infinite
From the creators of the highest-rated first-person shooter of all time**, BioShock, and the best-selling multiplatform video game of 2013 to date**, BioShock Infinite puts players in the shoes of U.S. Cavalry veteran turned hired gun, Booker DeWitt. Indebted to the wrong people and with his life on the line, DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.
BioShock Infinite was released on March 26, 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. For more information on BioShock Infinite, please visit http://www.bioshockinfinite.com.
