Most of the abilities in Emily’s bag of tricks aren’t necessarily as flashy as the “far reach” power featured in previous trailers. Define your own playstyle by blending immersive first-person action, assassination, stealth, mobility and the game’s brutal combat system.
Unlike in the first Dishonored game, there are two main characters to play as; Emily Kaldwin and Corvo Attano. It’s been previously announced that you can play as either Corvo or Emily, but the effects this has on the narrative aren’t entirely known. The story will begin and end in Dunwall, but the bulk of the game will take place in Karnaca. Each location will contain multiple routes and some will have unique gameplay gimmicks – in particular, they demonstrated a mansion area where Emily could warp through time to get past obstacles and sneak up on people. Something that becomes oddly satisfying in the gameplay showcase where Emily could chain enemies together using the Domino ability on 3 enemies. Now she’s 25 and upon Empress Delilah’s untimely death, she’s inherited control. All skills in Dishonored 2 are meant to be stacked with each other or used with the environment in mind.
The Void Engine – Dishonored 2 is beautifully brought to life with the new Void Engine, a leap forward in rendering technology, built from id Tech and highly-customized by Arkane Studios.
Dishonored 2 is due on 11th November for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Soon enough you’ll zap off to the new city of Karnacka, a wind-powered city that’s prone to nasty dust storms which blow in and reduce visibility to near-zero.
