BioShock Infinite Hitting Retail In October

North American and European players will get their hands on Irrational's latest before the Fall rush completely engulfs the industry.

No Caption Provided

No sense in dragging this one out. BioShock Infinite, that game that you've probably been desperately anticipating since last E3 when the collective video game industry suddenly found itself whipped into a crazed frenzy over it, finally has a release date.

Irrational let it be known on its website today that players in North America will be able to get their hands on Infinite on October 16 of this very year, while international folk will get their chance on October 19.

It's worth noting that the PC version of Infinite will be coming at the same time as its console counterparts. Specifically, it's worth noting that because of how infrequently that happens nowadays.

Odds are we won't hear too much more about the game until round about E3 time this year, but with any luck, by then we'll actually be able to sit down and play the thing. That'd be great, as I've been dying to know how all that skyhook craziness actually works in practice. It looks like absolute voodoo when you're watching someone else do it.

Wow, I was thinking this would be out be Summer at the latest! They announced it in 2010, that is a long build-up to release.

Seems like the date might be wrong. Other sites are reporting it is Tuesday the 16th, which is the typical day for game release dates. Which is it?

Definitely hyped for this, looks like a really interesting followup to the first Bioshock.

Thought a slight negative that comes to mind is that this further dims what little hope I have for GTA V to come out this year. Take-Two's 2012 schedule is fairly packed.

@Fjordson: Yeah, if you just look at Borderlands 2 and Infinite that is enough. Then throw in their sports franchise(s).

I think the pic of Elizabeth is an older screen. I think to downgrade her bust size is an insult to large-breasted women.

Carried a naive hope that this would come out in August like the first BioShock...although i guess that was before Irrational knew they had a monster hit on their hands. Another big autumn for gamers, I suppose.

Yep. Plus the Firaxis game and Max Payne 3 in May. Really think that they're going to have a strong year without GTA. Which sadly says to me that they might just push it to May 2013 for their next fiscal year.

Oh well. Still happy that Infinite is on the way.

Sounds great. 
 
also I read somewhere that the PS3 version will include BS1 for free, which is also great.

2012 seems like a much better year for gaming than 2011.

I think her bust size looks just fine, it doesn't need to be changed. Even if it was bigger at some point, bigger is not always better because it can actually be painful for a woman's bust to be too big.

Jesus christ... the endless obsessing over the character's breasts is so fucking creepy.

Man I hope final version of Elizabeth is tastefully stylized and has a nice figure and none of this compromised stuff because of bullshit fan reactions.

Didn't this have a release date of September 6 and that people were laughing at this back in 2010 when no one thought it would actually ship on that day? I distinctly remember this...

The original was an all-time classic. The second was just a cash in I didn't bother with. Infinite however, I'm completely on board with. Can't wait!
