If you have played Bioshock Infinite’s Burial at Sea DLC you will have no doubt witnessed a boy dancing on the Parisian streets as he joyously holds a stick of French bread aloft (he is not exactly hard to miss). While a charming inclusion in its own right, the mastermind behind Bioshock’s “Bread Boy” has now revealed more insight into why he is there.
It was a simple fan post from Twitter user Pocklecool that once more brought “Bread Boy” back to the fore of our minds, commenting on the fact that the game’s shorthand for being in Paris was a small boy delightedly twirling a baguette in his arms. The tweet, perhaps understandably, blew up, catching the attention of Gwen Frey.
