Today, Irrational Games announced that Burial at Sea will contain 1998 mode which encourages players to use non-lethal means of getting through the game. This mode will be in addition to existing difficulty modes. and yes there is still the infamous 1999 mode.
“In Burial at Sea – Episode Two we put a focus on balance and stealth mechanics,” said Ken Levine, creative director of Irrational Games. “As we were developing this new style of gameplay, we started to see people self-impose non-lethal playthrough’s. Given the fan reception of 1999 Mode, we thought it would be cool to give them another way to play Burial at Sea that challenged their mastery of stealth tools.”
