Check out the first few minutes of ‘BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea’

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

If you wish to remain completely unspoiled in regards to the upcoming DLC for BioShock Infinite, then you may want to skip the video below. It doesn’t give out any major spoilers, but it does show the first few minutes of the game, including a look at the city of Rapture and some hints as to what the plot is all about – at least the obvious plot.

As we discussed in our preview, the DLC features a different DeWitt and Elizabeth from the pair we saw in BioShock Infinite, and it’s set in a different time (although knowing the BioShock series the truth is more complicated than that). Burial at Sea, the first of the two planned DLCs for Infinite, takes place in Rapture just before things went bad – very bad.

DeWitt remains a detective for hire, but his office is located in Rapture and he is very much a citizen of Andrew Ryan’s underwater utopia. Elizabeth – a different, more femme-fatale Elizabeth than you know from Infinite – seeks him out to help find a girl that DeWitt believes is dead. The two then walk through Rapture at its peak.

Check out the clip below, and check out our recent interview with Ken Levine for more about the creation of Burial at Sea.

The update brings some serious changes to the game, including the addition of the Grand Hub and a new mini-game called Barrel Bowling that's exactly what it sounds like: tossing barrel bombs into a line of targets.

The best games of GDC 2025: Blades of Fire, Hotel Barcelona, and more

Best of GDC 2025

The annual Game Developers Conference is always an exciting place to check out new and exciting upcoming games. It might not have as many of the AAA heavy hitters as a Summer Game Fest, but the events and appointments surrounding this more developer-focused conference has historically housed games that we've gone on to love, such as Viewfinder, Venba, and Animal Well.

This year, I attended my first GDC and played a lot of promising games there. The last couple of years have been rough for the video game industry, and things may get worse before they get better. Despite that, everything I played at GDC 2025 renewed my confidence that there are still many passionate developers working on amazing games that deserve our undivided attention. These nine games stood out enough in particular to make our list of the best games we played at GDC 2025.

The best multiplayer maps in video game history

For how much time we sink into the best multiplayer games, certain maps were destined to become iconic. After all, whether it be the best FPS game or best racing game, no multiplayer game can survive if the maps aren't fun to play. Maps come in all different shapes, sizes, and designs based on the specific game they are based on, and all aim to strike that perfect balance of providing tactical options without being too complex. Throughout gaming history, a few maps have left such an impact that they continue to be the gold standard to this day. Most are so beloved that they are remade for nearly every new entry in the series. Let's look back at the best multiplayer maps we've ever battled on in video game history.
De_Dust 2 - Counter-Strike

Whether or not you've played any version of Counter-Strike, you know Dust 2. This sandy little box is the perfect example of simple yet elegant map design. There are long sightlines, corners, elevation, flanks, and everything you could want without becoming a sprawling mess. There are multiple ways to attack and defend each bomb site and tons of ways to rotate through the major areas. What is most impressive is that Dust 2 is almost perfectly balanced for both attackers and defenders, which is much harder than it seems to pull off. CS players have been rushing B on Dust 2 for over two decades now and we don't see that stopping any time soon.
