Look, over there! Is it BioShock? Is it Half Life? Is it Thief? Nope, It’s Dishonored, a stealthy, assassination-heavy FPS that’s set in a very unique and intriguing steampunk world where ‘revenge solves everything’.
The more I see of Bethesda’s new first person IP, the more I’m growing to think this could be a big shocker when it arrives later on in the year. If the game manages to play even a smidgen as well as this gameplay trailer makes it look, then we should be in for something very special indeed, and a game that looks like it’ll certainly fill the void until the delayed BioShock Infinite arrives next year.
Brutal, up-close-and-personal assassinations, super powers, stealthy abilities, giant robots and a dark, seedy world should all combine into a formula that, at least on paper, can’t fail. With only a few days until E3, we’ll soon see just how well the game stands up.
Dishonored is due for release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 9.
