Those who bought the Season Pass for BioShock Infinite and were starting to worry whether or not they had wasted their money, you can rest easy now, because Ken Levine has announced that DLC for BioShock Infinite is in the works. In fact, the first piece of downloadable content is already out today (on PC, at least). It's essentially a free-for-all challenge mode in which you have access to every ability, weapon, and powerup in the game, are given parameters for a mission, and are told to go nuts.
"So I thought, maybe we can do something where we give the player the opportunity to just play with the full toolset, and all of the powers and upgrades and everything, and create far more challenging gameplay for them. So with that in mind, we gathered up the people really specialized in combat on Infinite and essentially told them the gloves were off, you guys can make whatever you want."

The next two DLC packs are story-driven, and are something I'm particularly excited about. They're meant to shed some light on the overall story of BioShock by sending you underwater; that's right, you're goin' to Rapture. Burial at Sea is a two-parter DLC setup that sends Booker to Rapture when it was in its prime way before even the events of BioShock 2's multiplayer. The second part of the Burial at Sea DLC will still, of course, be in Rapture, but this time, you'll take the reigns of Elizabeth.
“We decided we wanted to shift things around a little bit for the third one, so the player character in the third DLC, you get to play Elizabeth and the gameplay is quite different as her. She’s not the tank that Booker is. And you’ll see how all the stories come together.”

The challenge mode DLC, Clash in the Clouds, is out now on PC for $5, and the PS3 and 360 versions are supposed to launch within the next day for $5 and 400 MSP, respectively. Date and price were not given yet for the Burial at Sea two-parter. Trailers for the DLC packs are embedded below.
(BioShock Infinite is on Steam, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Check retailers for pricing.)
