 Irrational Games' project icarus has caused quite the buzz lately. The unannounced project has kept gamers guessing on what the minds behind Bioshock would be brining us next. It may come as no surprise however, that today, the project was revealed as a new game in the Bioshock Series.

This wont be like the other Bioshock games though, and you can blow a kiss goodbye to the city of Rapture, because Bioshock Infinite will be set in the floating city of Columbia. The site, which launched earlier today, and includes a trailer and the first screens of the game (which you can see below), along with the following synopsis:

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky. Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.

Here is the trailer: 
This seems like an interesting idea, and the transition from the sea, to the sky could bring with it many game play changes and a whole new experience. We'll bring you more news on the game as we get it. [gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4"] Thanks, Gamevideos for the trailer
