Analog Addiction writes: "Bioshock Infinite has been such a long time coming that youd be forgiven for thinking youd never be able to play the game. First revealed in August 2010, the game has undergone many changes, most notably with the appearance of Elizabeth over the years as well as the floating city of Columbia itself. Before its announcement, the game was already in development for some time so its an impressive display of talent that Irrational has not only managed to get Bioshock Infinite out of the door, theyve also managed to keep it relevant. Irrational have made sure that Bioshock Infinite not only looks and plays at the same level as games in 2013, theyve put out one that looks better and plays better than most."
Ben Lo is a Canadian concept artist who currently works at Irrational Games in Boston.
An environment concept artist, in this gallery you'll see a selection of his works that contributed to the design of BioShock Infinite's Columbia.
They are, as you'd expect given how beautiful the final product was, absolutely gorgeous.
