BioShock Infinite PS3 Release Date Announced

BioShock Infinite

Greetings PlayStation Nation! Today, the team at Irrational Games is proud to announce that BioShock Infinite will be released on PS3 this October 16th, 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, you will get a free copy of the original BioShock on the game’s Blu-ray Disc. 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 16th. BioShock Infinite will be available on PlayStation 3 internationally on October 19, 2012.

  • So excited!

  • Also happy to have another move game.

  • whoo-hoo! cant wait for this!

  • What a great day to start my Thursday. Bioshock is one of my favorite series of all time (platinum trophy on the first two games, even with the grindy multiplayer.)

    It would be nice if this game had a digital day 1 release like Mass Effect 2. The Vita has got me spoiled with an all-digital library.

  • Great news! :)

    This is one of my most anticipated for 2012. I can’t wait!

  • Good morning! Soo, any news on 3D support? I just noticed it wasn’t mention up and above even though it was confirmed. Also, any news on Vita’s Bioshock? I can’t wait guys. This will definitely give my Move a run :3.

  • Can’t wait for IT!!!

  • Wow October That is a bit longer than I thought it would take but I know the longer it takes the BETTER it will be. So Rock ON OCT it is!!!!

  • Can’t wait it’s going to be a EPIC.

  • Epic! getting my pre-order today! can’t way to get the two games in one.. I’ve been waiting long for this!

  • Any chance we can get a sharpshooter designed as one of the guns in the game to go with it?

  • Good! is there going to be 3D support?

    Anyway, the game looks awesome, way better than Bioshock 1 and 2 in my opinion from what I have seen so far of Infinite.

  • Awesome looking game.

  • Nice to have a release date. My copy is pre-ordered since June 8th, 2011!

  • ScreamAimFire999

    I might get this now since I have Playstation Move and it comes with the first Bioshock.

  • That’s so awesome! Any word on if DLC from the disc-based first game will work with the version on the Blu Ray?

  • HELL YES! Comes out on my B-day!

  • Taking off work that week. Gonna be so much better than Bioshock 2. Please don’t surprise us with multiplayer.

  • ThreeLeggedFreak

    Already got the platinum on Bioshock 1, but I’m really wanting to play this. And Bioshock Vita :D

  • In a word… “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”

  • Please add Stereoscopic 3D support, please with sugar on top.

  • YES!!!!!!!!

    Loved Bioshock 1 and 2. Now I’ll guard money to buy Bioshock Infinite day 1.

  • Is here going to be a another awesome limited edition version? I am willing to shell out $100 again if its as awesome as Bioshock 2 was. Please met us know soon <3

  • Awesome! I was going to buy Bioshock 1 while I waited for this, but now I think I’ll hold off.
    @21: Lol, your avatar really fits your comment…

  • awesome news

  • Come on October!!!! loved the first bioshock and have been eagerly awaiting this game since the first videos started popping up. I also would like some word on 3D support. I think this game would benefit greatly from it if its done with care and not tacked on.

  • Oh hell YES! Waiting on the collectors edition announcement to preorder…Day one for me.

  • that cool but what happen to psn that post to be down today?

  • Yeah buddy! Great to finally hear the date!

    @26 As a fellow Snake I am also awaiting an announcement of a collectors edition, day one for me.

  • Sweet. Just bought my brother Bioshock 1 for Christmas ($20). It’s still good to have a hard copy just like the AC1 and Revelations deal. It’s actually good because people who didn’t buy the first game have a shot at it now.

    So excited you guys released a release date for this. So far the only must-have games for this year are Assassin’s Creed III, The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite. So I can go easy on my wallet. I totally forgot about this game too, since there wasn’t a release date for awhile.

    Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more details.

  • Unless it has splitscreen co-op or a really good multiplayer I for the most part don’t bother with single player FPS’s. This game will be the exception to that rule. Even though I thought the shooting mechanics kinda blew on the first one, (usually the nail in the coffin for any FPS) BioShock 1 still stands as the most immersive FPS I have yet to play. This will be a day one buy!

  • PLAYSTATION HOME. Rapture Metro is one of the coolest places to me in PS Home.I would beg of you to make something for us Home users. I have ALL the Home items from Bioshock,even the preorder Big Daddy Prototype suit. Any PS3 user who would like to see the PS Home apt,which is identical to the Sinclair Apt you get in the game, add me as a friend and I will show you. Again,I am a huge fan so please don’t forget people like me Mr President.
    This is truly where the PS3 enhances your game experience above and beyond that other console.
    TY for reading.

  • I am really looking forward to this game. One question though, do I need to play Bioshock 1 and 2 to understand Bioshock Infinite?

  • I want to know if 3D is supported as well. There are not much new 3D titles announced yet. Are there any coming in 2012?

  • This game is going to be absolutely amazing. I was going to say “I’m glad it comes a month after Borderlands 2!”, but I don’t think that’d matter since I want to play Bioshock so badly. Bioshock Infinite will be taking front and center when it comes to release.

    Can’t wait!

  • Borderlands2 then this sweeeeeeeet !

  • Can we please have some cool Exclusive DLC?!

  • Two for the price of one! SWEET cant wait.

  • Noice. The games looks incredible.

  • October needs to get here soon now lol… SOOOO can not wait for this to be released. The BioShock games are truly a master piece and one of my fav’s. Thanx for all the hard work you guys n gals put in in all 3 of these games :)

  • all right free copy of Bioshocck 1, i was thinking about getting it on amazon for $13.99 NEW but I will wait for oct instead.

  • I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this game will get delayed 3-6 weeks closer to when the release date comes. Delays are all too common this generation.

  • That’s good and all but will the original BioShock that comes with this game also be fine-tuned by Irrational Games too, or are we just going to get the same sloppy port-job of Digital Extremes?

  • You serious? October? Better if you announced this in June or July.

  • I never played this series before and was honestly not going to buy it on release , but since you get the 1st game with it ill get it for sure.

  • No way. Bioshock Infinite is coming out on my birthday.. I love the series. Could this be fate lol. October 16 ftw

  • I mean this with all-due respect to Sony…

    Please, please do NOT ruin what will undoubtedly be beautiful boxart with that giant, blue half circle for Move compatibility.

    As a professional senior level graphic designer, it makes my stomach turn to think about it.

  • How i wish Bioshock 2 is also included.

  • Damn I really want to get this day one but can’t help but thinking it will be one of the $29 games come Black Friday. It’ll be a long month but I picked up so many great games last year I almost gotta wait.

  • Finally I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you Irrational and 2K and also a copy of the first game included for the PS3 version, that’s nice but I already have the 1st game on my PS3.
