Story
Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where strange steampunk-inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is besieged by plague and ruled by a corrupt government armed with industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you abilities beyond those of any common man, but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.
What is happening now
Dishonored is a first-person RPG that combines stealth, supernatural powers, and environmental puzzle-solving across a gothic industrial setting. The game launched in 2012 as Arkane Studios' pivotal project, conceived as a last resort after years of contract work left the studio with dwindling resources. Recent upheaval has cast uncertainty over Dishonored's legacy. Following Xbox's major studio consolidation, Arkane Lyon's future remains unresolved as the publisher evaluates strategic options. Meanwhile, key creative figures have departed to establish new ventures - co-creator Raphaël Colantonio has publicly inquired about purchasing Arkane, while Harvey Smith, co-director of the original and creative lead on its sequel, has launched Black Pony Immersive with a single-player project in development. Smith's move reflects growing confidence in standalone narrative-driven games, even as the industry landscape shifts around the studio that birthed the franchise.
