Dishonored Gets an Official Release Date
Dishonored, the new steampunk stealth/shooter by Arkane Studios and Bethesda, now has an official release date. US audiences will be finding the game on October 9th, UK audiences will be getting it on the 12th, and Australia will get it on the 11th. Dishonored is becoming headed up by Harvey Smith, a veteran of the genre with games such as Deus Ex and Thief: Deadly Shadows under his belt.
In Dishonored, players will take control of a former guardsman, Corvo, who has been framed for the death of the Empress. Corvo must clear his name and get revenge against the Lord Reagent. Whilst like most assassins Corvo will be skilled in each melee and lengthy ranged, he will also have supernatural powers such as teleportation and freezing time.
The game will take spot on an open globe map with an emphasis on carrying out anything. Like most open planet games, you will stumble on random events such as muggings and you will be in a position to either assist the muggers or cease them. The game will offer even more depth than that, however – for instance, you will have the likelihood to locate the muggers before the crime occurs, thus stopping the mugging from ever happening.
