Irrational Games is proud to announce that BioShock Infinite will be released on February 26, 2013!

“After BioShock, we had a vision for a follow up that dwarfed the original in scope and ambition,” said Ken Levine. “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.”

BioShock Infinite will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

Pre-order your copy today!

Update: BioShock Infinite will be released on March 26, 2013.

    Let me think… Read a book?

    Personally, I’m glad they’re taking their time. If we’ve learned anything from a LOT of other rushed games, it’s that they’re so full of bugs that they’re virtually unplayable. I’ve wavered on this game, but I’m definitely exited for the release.

    I’m always complaining that time passes way too fast… but I wish it was October already.

    I’m in Barcelona, so the 19th will be just a great day.

    This is great, thank you. Can’t wait to hear about a collectors edition!

    If I give you my bosses #, can you explain that this is an international holiday and I need the week off?

    Why did other people say feb 12′ or august 12′ – it prolongs the anticipation…I’m glad Irrational came out with a definite date…this should be with all f–ing games!

      Various retailers pick dates pretty much at random so they can entice people into placing preorders. Then fans start repeating those dates on message boards, thinking they are accurate. Irrational has always said “2012”. They never even hinted at a month or season.
