Irrational Games have announced the release of a third Bioshock title, entitled Bioshock: Infinity and it shall be released on 360, PS3 and PC platforms in 2012.

Retaining the FPS gameplay that you might expect, Bioshock: Infinity is a full-blown sequel (or possibly prequel) to the Bioshock games that we know and love. Gone is the underwater dystopia, which has now been replaced by a dystopian city in the sky and it all looks very, very beautiful.

Taking place in 1912, some forty seven odd years before the events chronicled in the first Bioshock title, you are cast as former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt and have been dispatched to rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, the primary fruit of this relationship being that he can augment his abilities with hers so the pair may escape the crumbling city in the sky.

Boasting similar gameplay to its lauded predecessors and not to mention a whole crapload of innovations we don’t even know about yet, Bioshock: Infinity is looking every bit the superlative entry in this superb franchise.
