After inadvertently revealing their new Dishonored 2 game by mistake a day earlier than expected, Bethesda has now officially confirmed the development and release of the new game that will be launching during the spring of 2016.
Dishonored 2 will be launching on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC and is currently being developed by award-winning Arkane Studios. This highly anticipated sequel follows the success of the original Dishonored game, which was praised for its unique blend of stealth, action, and supernatural elements. Fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting this announcement, and the new game promises to deliver even more of the thrilling gameplay that made the first installment a hit.
New Features and Gameplay Mechanics
One of the most exciting aspects of Dishonored 2 is the introduction of two playable characters: Corvo Attano and Emily Kaldwin. Players can choose between these two protagonists, each with their own unique set of powers, weapons, and tools. This choice allows for a more personalized gameplay experience, as each character offers different abilities and playstyles. Corvo, the protagonist from the first game, returns with his familiar powers, while Emily introduces new abilities that add fresh dynamics to the gameplay.
The game is set in the coastal city of Karnaca, a vibrant and richly detailed environment that serves as the backdrop for the story. The choices players make will have significant impacts on the world, influencing the narrative and the fate of the characters within it. This emphasis on player choice and consequence is a hallmark of the Dishonored series, and Dishonored 2 aims to expand on this concept even further.
Check out the Dishonored 2 announcement trailer below:
“Choose between Corvo Attano and Emily Kaldwin — to the coastal city of Karnaca where the choices you make will have significant impact on the world. Both assassins have their own unique set of powers, weapons, and tools to provide creative and exciting new ways to eliminate targets.”
Enhanced Graphics and Immersive World
Dishonored 2 also boasts enhanced graphics and a more immersive world, thanks to the power of the latest gaming consoles and PC hardware. The game’s art direction continues to draw inspiration from a blend of steampunk and gothic aesthetics, creating a visually striking and atmospheric experience. The detailed environments, dynamic lighting, and realistic character animations all contribute to a more engaging and believable world.
The developers at Arkane Studios have also worked to improve the game’s AI, making enemies more challenging and intelligent. This means that players will need to be more strategic in their approach, using stealth, combat, and their supernatural abilities to outsmart their foes. The game encourages experimentation and creativity, allowing players to tackle missions in a variety of ways.
