: Combines the Industrial Revolution Pack and the Upgrade Pack [24].
Columbia is a character in itself. Led by the self-proclaimed prophet Zachary Hale Comstock, the city is a shrine to American Exceptionalism. It is a world of pristine white marble, patriotic bunting, and gorgeous blue skies. It is also, crucially, a lie.

with a singular mission: "Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt".
The Complete Edition allows players to soak in this environment with enhanced visual fidelity (depending on the platform). The art direction, heavily inspired by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, creates a sense of "retro-futurism" that feels distinct from the Art Deco of Rapture. Skies are filled with cargo ships propelled by propellers, and giant robotic Patriots march through streets singing patriotic hymns. It is a beautiful, terrifying place to explore.
