10 Video Game Characters Who Broke Into Song

8. Elizabeth & Booker (BioShock Infinite)

Following on the course of historical accuracy like in Assassin’s Creed, the song sang here, ‘Will the Circle be Unbroken’, was written in 1907, meaning it corresponds to the duo playing it in BioShock Infinite which is set in 1912.

In a game which has some truly brutal, depressing and gruesome moments throughout, Elizabeth’s rendition of this song creates an uplifting atmosphere which contrasts to the rest of the game – this is what makes this particular moment so memorable.

With Booker on the guitar, the pair really comes together here as they subtly criticise the Floating City of Columbia through a nice Christian song about Heaven. This scene gives the pair a great bonding moment while also pushing their concerns, doubts and personal bias.

The double meaning allows the game to do this casually, with a potential to read further into it for the players who want to look a little deeper.
