10 Video Game Reveals That Stopped You DEAD
10. Elizabeth Is Anna DeWitt - BioShock Infinite
Regardless of whether it’s superior to the first entry in the series, 2013’s time-bending BioShock Infinite concludes with similarly mind-blowing disclosures regarding the real identities of two major characters.
Learning that protagonist Booker DeWitt is actually an alternate universe version of main antagonist Comstock is certainly startling and significant. Yet, it’s the other confession – Comstock’s rebellious adopted descendant, Elizabeth, is Booker’s long-lost daughter, Anna – that hits like a punch in the gut.
After all, Booker’s entire cause for going to floating city Columbia is to find Elizabeth, as the mysterious Lutece twins tell him that if he “brings [them] the girl,” he’ll “wipe away the debt.”
On the surface, it seems like a simple way for him to erase his gambling responsibilities, but by the end, it takes on a deeper meaning since said liabilities led to Comstock taking infant Anna (and unintentionally severing her finger) in the first place.
Thus, Booker and Anna’s relationship becomes increasingly complicated and touching as BioShock Infinite progresses, leading to a bittersweet finale in which multiple Elizabeths (from multiple timelines) watch Booker drown in order to prevent any version of him from becoming Comstock.
