There’s a lot of gamers out there excited for the release of the new BioShock game, but I think it’s safe to say that few are as excited as the subject of this impressive BioShock Infinite cosplay.
DeviantArt user Ormeli (real name Anna Moleva) took part in an incredibly impressive BioShock Infinite cosplay photo shoot with a costume right out of the video game. Moleva is decked out in the same garb as the Elizabeth character from the game. In the video game, Elizabeth is an incredibly powerful psychic who teams up with the player for mutual protection from their enemies.
While being incredibly powerful, Elizabeth is also an intelligent and sensitive spirit; all qualities that are captured nicely in Moleva’s BioShock Infinite cosplay photos. BioShock maker Irrational Games was so impressed with her work that they offered her a job promoting the game’s release.
