The BioShock Infinite Season Pass brings together every add-on pack Irrational Games made for its sky-city shooter: the combat-focused Clash in the Clouds and both chapters of Burial at Sea, the two-part story that carries Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth down to Rapture. All three packs are released, so the collection is complete, finishing with the episode that concludes the storyline of BioShock Infinite itself. The pass also includes the Early Bird Special Pack of bonus gear, and requires the BioShock Infinite base game to play.
What the Season Pass Includes
- Clash in the Clouds
- The first add-on pack, built purely around BioShock Infinite's combat. Sixty challenges across four brand-new environments test how well you can combine weapons, Vigors, Gear, Tears and Sky-Lines against impossible odds, with waves of Columbia's toughest enemies standing in your way.
- Burial at Sea - Episode One
- Booker and Elizabeth arrive in Rapture on the eve of its fall, in a story-driven chapter that rebuilds the underwater city almost entirely from scratch in the BioShock Infinite engine and reworks combat around stealth and careful use of resources.
- Burial at Sea - Episode Two
- The final BioShock Infinite add-on puts you in Elizabeth's shoes as she journeys through Rapture to rescue the Little Sister she abandoned, drawing in nearly every major character from both the original BioShock and BioShock Infinite.
- Early Bird Special Pack
- An instant bonus pack for BioShock Infinite, obtainable only through the Season Pass: machine gun and pistol damage upgrades, gold skins for both weapons, and five Infusion bottles to raise your health, shield durability or Salt capacity.
Burial at Sea: Rapture at Its Height
Burial at Sea is the heart of the pass. Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock, brings Booker and Elizabeth to Rapture on New Year's Eve 1958, before everything fell to pieces. Booker is a private investigator here, and Elizabeth walks into his office with a case about a missing girl named Sally. What follows is a noir mystery through a city you have only ever seen in ruins, now a shining jewel at the bottom of the ocean full of neon, champagne and Art Deco splendor, with some old "friends" waiting along the way.
Episode Two picks up immediately after the first chapter ends and hands control to Elizabeth. Her journey leads into parts of Rapture never seen before and answers questions that run through both BioShock and BioShock Infinite, bringing the stories of BioShock Infinite and Burial at Sea to their conclusion. Played back to back, the two episodes form a single tale that ties the series together.
Stealth Meets Classic BioShock Combat
Burial at Sea is not simply BioShock Infinite moved underwater. Combat has been rebalanced and reworked to put more weight on stealth and resource management, merging the tense scavenging of the original BioShock with the pace of Infinite. The weapon wheel returns, and Episode One adds the new Radar Range, an old favorite weapon from the original BioShock, the Old Man Winter Plasmid, new Gear and Tears. Episode Two leans even further into stealth, giving Elizabeth new weapons including a crossbow and new Plasmids such as Peeping Tom, so slipping past Rapture's Splicers often matters more than fighting them.
Clash in the Clouds: Combat Without Compromise
For players who loved Infinite's firefights, Clash in the Clouds sets the story aside entirely. Its 60 challenges are spread across four brand-new environments, each one asking you to combine weapons, Vigors, Gear, Tears and Sky-Lines in ways the main campaign rarely demands. Blue Ribbon Challenges add tougher conditions on top, and completing them unlocks concept art, Voxophones, Kinetoscopes and more in The Columbian Archeological Society, an in-game museum of Columbia's history. Leaderboards let you measure your results against other players, and new achievements reward the most dedicated.
Return to the City Beneath the Sea
If BioShock Infinite's ending stayed with you, this is where that story truly finishes. Walk Rapture's glittering promenades before the lights go out, follow Elizabeth to the end of her journey, and sharpen your skills in Columbia's arenas along the way. The city beneath the sea is waiting, and so is the answer to how it all connects.
