After many months of speculation and mounting excitement, Irrational Games finally showed off the story DLC for their critically acclaimed BioShock Infinite. The DLC is appropriately titled Burial At Sea, a two part story arc that follows alternate universe versions of Booker and Elizabeth attempting to escape Rapture, the city at the bottom of the sea from the first BioShock.
The first part of Burial At Sea will focus on Booker trying to escape Rapture on December 31, 1958, the night before the city fell. Booker will be using Plasmids again rather than Vigors, and the combat will be far more “plan and execute” like the original BioShock.
The second part of Burial At Sea will finally allow players to play as Elizabeth, and gameplay is supposed to be “almost survival horror” in how combat is approached. Elizabeth will be able to use tears to create things and the environment, and lure enemies into traps. It appears there’ll be far more stealth, tension, and horror involved in this DLC as opposed to the original campaign in BioShock Infinite.
BioShock Infinite’s universe lends itself well to the “what if” scenarios often seen in episodic DLC. It’ll be really interesting to see Rapture before everything fell into dystopia, and how Booker and Elizabeth fit into it’s decline. No word on when the DLC will be released, but Irrational has stated that all the DLC will be available before March 14.
