Dishonored has sold surprisingly well. Well enough, that now Bethesda's public relations manager Pete Hines has stated that the game will become a franchise.
"I can tell you that Dishonored is far exceeding our sales expectations, which is especially cool considering it’s new IP facing a host of well-established franchises this quarter," Hines said. "We did terrific numbers again this past weekend, both in stores and on Steam, where Dishonored was listed as the #1 selling title over the holiday weekend. And Dishonored has really sold well overseas. So, we’re very pleased and appreciate all the fans that have supported Dishonored and developer Arkane Studios. We clearly have a new franchise."
Dishonored was the fourth best selling game for the month of October, and also the only non-sequel game released to make that list. The game has it's first expansion, Dunwall City Trials, releasing on Tuesday, December 4th, for $5 (or 400 MS Points) on Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and PC.
