Dishonoured 2
First previewed at last year’s E3, fans got a closer look at the world of Dishonoured 2. Set 15 years after the events of Dishonoured, players can either play as Emily Kaldwin, the Empress of Dunwall, or Corvo Attano, the protagonist from the previous title. Emily finds her rule under threat when Dunwall is taken over by a usurper and she is labelled an outlaw. Forced to leave Dunwall, the player must navigate the new region of Karnaca. Both Emily and Corvo have to find a way back to reclaim the throne and restore society.
Expanding on the world established in the first game, Dishonoured 2 will feature better use of vertical space, more areas to explore and a fully realised environment that creates a sense of what it was like before players arrived in the streets of Karnaca. A game-play demo showcased some of the abilities players will be able to use, as Emily, to help complete missions. These include being able to manipulate time, being able to incapacitate multiple enemies simultaneously and a cloud like stealth ability.
Bethesda and Arkane have also confirmed that there will be a limited number of Special Editions of Dishonoured 2, which will include replicas of Corvo’s mask and Emily’s ring. Those who pre-order the game ahead of the November release will also receive a copy of Dishonoured: Definitive Edition as a bonus.
Dishonoured 2 will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC from November 11. Watch a trailer below.
