Return to Rapture, play as Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite DLC

Bioshock Infinite three DLC packs have been revealed, with the first dropping today.

Clash in the Clouds is due for download today on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 for around a fiver, and focuses solely on the game's combat with sixty 'Blue Ribbon' challenges split over four all-new environments. The official blurb states you'll "combine weapons, Vigors, Gear, Tears, and Sky-Lines in ways you never thought possible as you square off against impossible odds". There's new Achievements/Trophies attached as well as online leaderboard support.

The bigger element of the announcement is with the other two DLC packs, priced at just under fifteen pounds each and currently without an exact release date. They'll form a two-part episodic story that sees Booker and Elizabeth exploring Rapture. The second part of the story will see you controlling Elizabeth, that's supposed to "bring closure to her story, and Bioshock Infinite's".

The DLC's entitled "Burial at Sea", and will see you explore brand new areas of Rapture, juggle Vigors and Plasmids, and meet both old and new faces. The suggestion from both the announcement trailer and the official text (below) is that this is an alternate reality version of Booker and Elizabeth, playing on Infinite's reveal that multiple worlds and realities exist.

The official text for both episodes:

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode One

"Come back to Rapture in a story that finds Booker and Elizabeth on the eve of the underwater city's fall from grace. Developed by Irrational Games, the developer of the original BioShock and BioShock Infinite, this DLC features Rapture as you've never seen it before-a shining jewel at the bottom of the ocean, built almost entirely from scratch in the BioShock Infinite engine. Gameplay has been modified to give the player an original BioShock combat experience that merges the best parts of BioShock and BioShock Infinite: new weapons, new Plasmids/Vigors, Tears, Sky-Lines, and Big Daddies."

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode Two
"In this DLC pack, you become Elizabeth as she seeks to bring closure to her story, and to BioShock Infinite's. Like Episode 1, this DLC features Rapture as you've never seen it before and gameplay has been modified to give the player an original BioShock combat experience that merges the best parts of BioShock and BioShock Infinite."
