Irrational Games have announced the third game of the Bioshock franchise, “Bioshock Infinite”, to be released sometime in 2012.
Bioshock 2 was fantastic, but some argued it felt too similar to the first game in many respects. Those people won’t have anything to complain about this time as Infinite has swapped the seas for the skies and Rapture for a new city called Columbia, which floats above the earth thanks to some nifty looking steampunk-ish devices. The game is set in 1912 which is before the first two but Ken Levine, who will again be involved, doesn’t want it to be seen as a prequel.
Watch the trailer above and feel free to start getting excited, two years isn’t that long.

Oh! Very nice, I am quite excited about this. Bioshock has always had great style and design. The visual direction for Bioshock Infinite looks stunning and the idea is certainly innovative. Once again you guys have a hit game!
