In an interview with IGN Ken Levine has given us more information about the upcoming “Burial at Sea” DLC Packs for Bioshock Infinite. He has revealed that part one, in which you play as Booker Dewitt, will have no combat.
“It’s just playing in that world, you know, the Rapture you’d never really seen before, and watching Booker and Elizabeth use their wits to solve a problem and just soak in the atmosphere,” Levine told IGN.
The inspiration to have a large, combat-free period comes from the highly acclaimed first hour (or so) of BioShock Infinite, where Columbia is completely free of violence.
“My favorite BioShock quest is actually in that part, with no combat. He meets an old friend from BioShock 1. Not a very nice friend, but a friend. And in the second half, it takes place in a department store, a Fontaine department store that’s been shuttered and sunk to the bottom of the ocean by Ryan after he takes over. All of Fontaine’s cronies are put into that department store, so that place has gone to hell. It’s very traditional BioShock 1. They’re all spliced up down there. They’re all crazy. You get this mix of pristine Rapture and a very traditional Rapture experience, in a pretty organic story,” added Levine.
This is quite surprising and it will be extremely interesting to experience all this DLC pack has to offer – and the role of Booker and Elizabeth in the Fall of Rapture.
So far the DLC has no release date, but hopefully we hear more from Irrational Games soon.
