On Wednesday, August 11, we will be revealing Irrational Games’ new project to the press. At this special event, the press will be seeing a trailer and a live demonstration of gameplay.
On Thursday, August 12th, at 1:45 Eastern Daylight Time, we will launch the trailer for our new game at Whatisicarus.com. Our hope is that you all will see it PRIOR to reading any news in the press (which will start to come out around 15 minutes later).
Trust me, there’s a reason.
In the coming weeks, we will be releasing a video of the demonstration to the community as well. No promises on the date yet; we’re still figuring that out. You can send me a threatening PM, but it will have no effect other than to hurt my very delicate feelings.
See you all then.

Looks fantastic. I like that you’ve replaced Objectivism with Jingoism, I love that it’s got bright colors, and I love the twist in the trailer.
That being said, I had to go to Kotaku to watch it – neither Chrome nor Firefox nor IE would play it on my machine.

I saw the trailer before I even knew what was going on. I saw the ad on XBOX live and I am so glad by the surprise. I cannot wait for this game.

Me too, I saw it on Xbox Live. My eyes jumped out from my skull and my jaw dropped… Best surprise ever. Thank you, IG. You’ve made my entire month.

i am so glad that Bioshock took to the skies! this game already looks amazing. that being said, i would still love to see someone (hopefully Irrational) put an end to the Rapture series. BS2 felt like it lacked a REAL story so i’d like to see the series come full circle and give the fans the proper closure they deserve.

I have to admit that you guys got me with the trailer. I thought it was going to be BioShock 3 or something to continue down in Rapture and I got a little worried, (since usually trilogies don’t work out well… No matter what the series is…) but then it went in the completely opposite direction! It was really exciting to see and I’m so eager for more!
