October release date confirmed for BioShock Infinite

BioShock fans will be clearing their schedules for October 2012 in anticipation of the launch of the eagerly awaited BioShock Infinite.

2K Games and Irrational Games have confirmed an October 19th release date for the new Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC title, which has already been garlanded with numerous awards for its impressive pre-release showings at trade events.

The new game transports players to a sci-fi influenced version of 1912 America, in which they must battle to escape from Columbia, a stunning but doomed city in the sky.

Exploring immersive and huge environments, gamers will be able to use advanced weapons and engage in aerial combat on high-speed Sky-Lines, while bonding with female lead Elizabeth, who has unique powers and vulnerabilities of her own.

The PlayStation 3 version of the game will also feature motion control support using the PlayStation Move accessory.

Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games, said: "After BioShock, we had a vision for a follow up that dwarfed the original in scope and ambition. BioShock Infinite has been our sole focus for the last four years."
