14 DAY TRIAL // When the news that Irrational Games was shutting down was out, it was met with mixed reactions from the gaming world.
In the short time that passed since then, many people began speculating on what went down at the studio, and a recent rather lengthy reveal from inside sources informed of BioShock Infinite's sprawling development, making the gaming community privy to some incredible facts such as that BioShock Infinite had multiplayer.
While Irrational's head Ken Levine is now orienting towards a smaller and more focused operation, the team still has to deliver the Burial at Sea – Episode Two downloadable content pack for BioShock Infinite, which wraps up the story arc of Elizabeth's undersea adventures.
As such, the team decided to take a new approach in its marketing efforts, releasing a promo video for the upcoming DLC that also doubles as a resume for some of the members involved in its creation, complete with contact details and position held during development.
Each team member shares his thoughts regarding their own work, highlighting what they liked best about it and the collaboration with the other talented folks who created one of the best narrative-driven first-person shooters and one of the best DLC packs ever made, that stands equal to the original game and adds a lot of gameplay elements and depth.
The Burial at Sea chapter follows Elizabeth's adventures during the downfall of Rapture, featuring new stealth-based gameplay and a new arsenal of deadly weapons. Players will get to see the world through Elizabeth's eyes and understand the epic conclusion to the fascinating franchise.
Players will get to experience another engaging story arc that involves nearly all the major characters from both the original BioShock as well as BioShock Infinite, and will gain a new perspective on the BioShock universe.
Additionally, the developers have implemented a game mode that challenges players to complete the entire experience using only non-lethal methods, players having to be extra careful and pay much more attention to enemy movements and their surroundings, in order to find new opportunities for navigation and figure out the best way to use their new arsenal.
BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea – Episode Two will be launched on March 25, available worldwide for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
For now, there is no information regarding the series' fate, whether publisher 2K Games will let it rest at the bottom of the ocean or whether a new studio will attempt to resurrect BioShock and continue the story.
