‘Burial At Sea’ Episode 2 Gets ‘Thief’ Inspired 1998 Mode
Our return to Rapture isn’t scheduled until next month, but that isn’t keeping Irrational Games from teasing more of the content we can expect from the significantly longer second episode in BioShock Infinite: Burial At Sea.
Whereas BioShock: Infinite had an unlockable “1999 mode,” inspired by Irrational’s survival horror game System Shock 2, Burial At Sea will come with a special “1998 Mode,” that’s inspired by Thief: The Dark Project. The mode will put an emphasis on stealth and strategy by forcing the player to dispose of their enemies using non-lethal methods.
“In Burial at Sea Episode Two we put a focus on balance and stealth mechanics,” said Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games. “As we were developing this new style of gameplay, we started to see people self-impose non-lethal playthrough’s. Given the fan reception of 1999 Mode, we thought it would be cool to give them another way to play Burial at Sea that challenged their mastery of stealth tools.”
They even came up with some Thief-inspired art, which you can see below.
BioShock Infinite: Burial At Sea Episode Two arrives on March 25.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
