Greetings PlayStation Nation! Today, the team at Irrational Games is proud to announce that BioShock Infinite will be released on PS3 internationally on October 19th, 2012. Our President and Creative Director Ken Levine has been talking about the game for years now and, like the rest of the Irrational Games team, he’s thrilled that we can finally share the game’s final release date. “After BioShock, we had a vision for a follow up that dwarfed the original in scope and ambition,” he told me. “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.”
The game will support the PlayStation Move motion controller and we’ll have further details to share on how it will work soon. In addition the US release will also get a free copy of the original BioShock, while we’re still to hear whether the same good news applies to the EU. In the meantime, you can visit IrrationalGames.com to learn more about the game, or pre-order to ensure you get your copy on October 19th.

Let us see how long this extra content promise lasts, Battlefield 3 and Saints Row 3 promised exclusive content and both removed it after MS poked their noses in.

one of my favourite quotes is from Bioshock
“The artist reflects the world as it ought to be not as its damned to be by some spasm of the lower mind” – Andrew Ryan
that quote alone fueled a full years work worth of art at final year at uni
what i really appreciate was the socio-political message of the series – using McCarthy style fascism as a means of expressing discontent at what was occuring in the US at the time of their development – the whole if you aren’t with us you are against us is the main reason i now live in Europe
Bioshock is visually stunning and disturbing at the same time, not exactly a horror game yet it is – the only game that kept me uncomfortaby on edge while playing it – can’t wait for infinite – it’s the only game trailer I’ve ever screamed in delight at
