A crushing new trailer for Bioshock Infinite has just been unleashed upon an unsuspecting world, which sees ‘The False Shepherd’ of Columbia wreaking havoc on the city’s inhabitants with powerful Vigors, mighty weaponry and potent melee attacks.

What does all of this mean? Action.

In Bioshock Infinite you play as Booker DeWitt, a man with many debts that need repaying, who is given a chance to wipe his slate clean by completing a mission: Travel to the sprawling floating city of Columbia flying high in the skies, find a special girl and bring her back down to Earth. Simple? Not on your life.

When DeWitt reaches Columbia, he’s met with overwhelming opposition and identified as ‘The False Shepherd’ from ‘Sodom below’ – the man who would come to claim The Lamb of Columbia, Elizabeth, and take her away from her people.

Using any means necessary to fight back and survive, DeWitt must make use of almost magical powers in the form of Vigors, along with other incredible combat options, to achieve his goal. Will he bring back the girl and wipe away the debt? We’ll find out when Bioshock Infinite launches on March 26th around the world, but for now, enjoy the action below:
