Return To Rapture In ‘BioShock Infinite’s’ First DLC, ‘Burial At Sea’
If you’ve been craving more BioShock Infinite, the game just received its first DLC today. It’s called Clash in the Clouds, and it’s essentially a wave survival mode that takes place in four maps, where you fight to survive against waves of increasingly powerful enemies. If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, you’ll need to wait for Burial at Sea.
Burial At Sea will take us back to the underwater city of Rapture. If you’re expecting to see the same Rapture the original BioShock introduced us to in 2007, that won’t be the case here. Because this takes place in 1958, before the city crumbled to ruin, we’ll get to see what Rapture was like before the Splicers took over. Trailer after the break.
The DLC will be divided into two parts, with the first charging $14.99. If you purchased the BioShock Infinite season pass, that will unlock Clash in the Clouds and both episodes of Burial at Sea as they become available.
As for what Burial at Sea covers, check out this amazing new trailer to find out.
Other than the fact that we get to return to Rapture, which is always something worth getting excited over, what makes this DLC so interesting is that we’ll be able to control both Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth. I can’t wait.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
