BioShock

BioShock Guía y cronología

Rapture lies beneath the sea; Columbia floats above the clouds. Both promise a better society and conceal the violence that keeps their ideals alive. BioShock lets players explore those broken worlds through first-person combat and unsettling discoveries, with questions of choice and control woven into the people they meet.

BioShock: enter Rapture before rearranging history

Select Main Games and Release order: BioShock, BioShock 2 and Minerva's Den, then Infinite and Burial at Sea Episodes 1 and 2. This preserves discoveries that a setting-year route presents differently.

Minerva's Den and Burial at Sea are story expansions. Check their base-game and edition requirements rather than treating them as standalone games.

Overview & recommendation

BioShock's worlds are built around discoveries that change what earlier encounters mean. Starting with Infinite simply because Columbia's date is earlier would give a different introduction from the original descent into Rapture.

The expansions develop their own perspectives, but they also rely on knowledge and access attached to their games. A future adaptation is another version to consider, not an available step between those stories.

Keep the main games in release context, adding Minerva's Den after BioShock 2 and the Burial episodes after Infinite. Check edition and DLC requirements rather than purchasing or repeating overlapping versions blindly.

Games, expansions and an announced film A game story route and a separate adaptation

Main Games groups the base games and story expansions. The film view represents a separate announced adaptation, whose inclusion does not establish a completed screen chapter or settle every future relationship.

  • Main Games (7 entries)

    The BioShock base games and story expansions. For a first story route use release context, while setting-year comparisons retain alternate-reality and overlap qualifications.

  • Netflix Film (1 entry)

    The announced Netflix film adaptation, a separate future screen project rather than an available game-story bridge.

A first journey through the games 8 entries

Release-context play preserves the narrative discoveries before later stories return to familiar places. It differs deliberately from sorting every setting year.

Setting years and alternate possibilities 8 entries

Infinite's represented 1912 setting comes before Rapture's dates, but alternate realities and overlapping Burial material complicate one calendar. Whole-entry ranks cannot capture every connection.
