A new Bioshock Infinite trailer has been released this week by publisher 2K Games, which has been published to provide gamers and fans of the Bioshock games with a glimpse at the gameplay you can expect.
The new Bioshock Infinite trailer called “Lamb of Columbia” is two minutes long and reveals a little more about the role of Elizabeth within Bioshock Infinite.
“To clear his debt, Booker DeWitt must rescue a mysterious girl from the sky-city of Columbia. But who is this girl? What makes her so powerful, and why are so many willing to do anything to keep her from escaping? More importantly… what price will you pay to set her free?”
The Intriguing World of Columbia
Bioshock Infinite is set in the floating city of Columbia, a stark contrast to the underwater dystopia of Rapture from the previous Bioshock games. Columbia is a vibrant, sky-high city with a dark underbelly, filled with political strife and social unrest. The city itself is a character in the game, with its own history and secrets waiting to be uncovered. The new trailer gives us a glimpse of the stunning visuals and the unique atmosphere that Columbia offers, making it a compelling setting for the game’s narrative.
Elizabeth: More Than Just a Damsel in Distress
Elizabeth, the mysterious girl Booker DeWitt must rescue, is not just a passive character. She plays a crucial role in the gameplay and the story. The trailer hints at her unique abilities, which are central to the game’s mechanics. Elizabeth can manipulate “Tears” in the fabric of reality, bringing objects and elements from parallel universes into Columbia. This ability adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay, as players must decide when and how to use her powers to overcome obstacles and enemies.
The relationship between Booker and Elizabeth is also a focal point of the game. Their interactions and evolving bond add emotional depth to the story, making players invested in their journey. The trailer teases some of these moments, showcasing the dynamic between the two characters.
After a couple of delays during development, BioShock Infinite will be released on March 26, 2013, for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The anticipation for the game has been building, and the new trailer only adds to the excitement. If you pre-order now, you will also receive some sweet bonuses, including exclusive in-game items and possibly early access to certain features.
The gameplay mechanics in Bioshock Infinite are designed to be both familiar and innovative. Fans of the series will recognize the first-person shooter elements, but the addition of Elizabeth’s abilities and the verticality of Columbia’s environment offer new challenges and opportunities for creative problem-solving. The trailer showcases some of these mechanics, giving players a taste of the action-packed and strategic gameplay they can expect.
