The desperately sought answers to the weeks old question “What is Icarus?” are coming to fruition. For now, we know that it has something to do with a new Bioshock installment titled Bioshock: Infinite. Here is Irrational Games’ official synopsis:
BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). 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.
If there is one thing Irrational Games knows about selling games set in dystopian “world of tomorrow” cities, it’s that those games need an awesome trailer. They didn’t disappoint this time around.
