Dishonored Plot Revealed

Bethesda and Arkane Studios have announced their next game in the form of Dishonored. Dishonored
will be a stealth action-adventure game and it’s being worked on by
Harvey Smith, one of the minds behind the hugely popular PC games Thief and Deus Ex. The
game will be based around you playing as Corvo, the bodyguard of ‘The
Empress’ who is framed for her murder and then sets out to get revenge
utilizing a number of powerful supernatural abilities and deadly
gadgets. Arkane has said that the core gameplay will revolve around
assassinations, but unlike the Assassin’s Creed games, the world and gameplay of Dishonored
will react to how violently you play the game. Arkane also revealed
that Corvo’s different gadgets and abilities can be combined in various
ways, which should make for some very interesting gameplay.
