2K Games has today announced that the next instalment in the\u00a0highly\u00a0successful BioShock series will be releasing on October 16th 2012 in the US and October 19th in the UK. BioShock Infinite will take you away from the walls of Rapture and into the sky as you explore the sky-city Columbia. Set in an 1912 America that may have been, you’ll take control of Booker DeWitt a former Pinkerton agent and be accompanied by a new AI\u00a0character\u00a0called Elizabeth and\u00a0together\u00a0players will have to escape the sky-city armed with brand new weapons and abilities.<\/p>\n “After BioShock, we had a vision for a follow up that dwarfed the original in scope and ambition,” said Ken Levine creative director of Irrational Games. “BioShock Infinite has been our sole focus for the last four years, and we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on it.<\/p>\n Sounds very exciting and with the release of Assassin’s Creed 3<\/em> just a few weeks after, October is\u00a0promising\u00a0to be a wallet draining month of quality.<\/p>\n Will you be picking this up? Are you happy to see the series take to the sky? Let us know below.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
