Overview
Description

BioShock is a first-person shooter with RPG elements and a strong focus on storytelling and player choice. Set in the underwater city of Rapture, the game follows the story of Jack, a plane crash survivor who discovers the city's dark secrets and must navigate its dangers to uncover the truth.

Step into the shoes of Booker DeWitt as he navigates the crumbling streets of Rapture before its infamous fall. This story‑driven DLC blends classic BioShock atmosphere with fresh weapons, Plasmids, and the Unreal Engine 3 technology that powered Infinite. Explore the neon‑lit business district, infiltrate Sander Cohen’s exclusive party, and uncover the mystery behind the missing girl Sally. The single‑player experience delivers stealth, action, and sci‑fi intrigue in a tightly crafted narrative episode.
