Irrational Games announced this morning that BioShock Infinite is being pushed back from a February 26, 2013 release to March 26:
The world is about to change for BioShock Infinite fans.
For the very first time, media from all over the world got their hands on BioShock Infinite. They sat down with the first few hours of the game and played it to their heart’s content: hands on and no holds barred.
Some of their coverage has already hit the web. PC Gamer said:
I’ve just played the first five hours of BioShock Infinite, and I’ve come away with the same dazed feeling I got after I first played Half-Life 2. It’s a sensory overload: a relentless series of staggering sights, astonishing events, and more story and detail and mysteries than I could possibly absorb.
Work on the game is now down to final polish and bug fixing. In order to give the team a few more weeks of this polish, the release date of BioShock Infinite is March 26th.
We know that this is going to ruffle some feathers. But we’re willing to take the heat to make sure that BioShock Infinite is 100% the game our fans deserve.
