The release date for BioShock Infinite is fast approaching, and to make sure everyone knows it and is super pumped about it, the creators of the game just dropped a shiny new trailer. Besides the obvious goal of showing how beautiful this game is, the Lamb of Columbia trailer also seems to ask the question, "What would Belle from Beauty and the Beast do if she got super powers?"

The latest trailer for BioShock Infinite takes its cues from those history filmstrips you probably saw a lot of in second grade. The one exception: this one plays out the way those would if you attended second grade in some sort of fever dream. As far as I'm concerned, this game just keeps looking cooler and cooler. Frankly, it's been kind of a while since I saw promotional stuff like this for a game and said "Yeah, I want to see that world," and Infinite is really doing it for me on that front. I'm still reserving judgment until I see whether or not the gameplay can keep pace with what looks to be a pretty cool premise replete with all the headscrewing detail and grey area morality players have come to expect from the series, but if it does I'll officially be super-excited for this. Check the new trailer out below and let us know what you think.

Get prepared to hear this a lot about BioShock Infinite, the just-announced BioShock sequel: It's in the sky. (Guess that Project Icarus codename meant something.) We thought we were wonderfully clever when we heard that the game wouldn't take place in the underwater city of Rapture like BioShock and BioShock 2 but rather in "an immense city in the sky" called Columbia, and immediately came up with: "LOL, they should call it Skyoshock." Then, alas, we took to Twitter and discovered that many other people shared our humorous turn of phrase, as well as "Flyoshock."

So: BioShock Infinite is in the sky. Glad we got that out of the way. What else do we know about it?
