Arkane Studios Reveals - Dishonored! (First Screenshot Up)

Renault on 8/7/2011 at 12:25

Seems like an odd way to "announce" the new game when it's been in the works for so long, and with several industry heavy hitters at the helm. Does Arkane plan on doing any kind of official announcement or press release before (or even after) the GI article is out?

The game does sound promising though, and quite frankly, in this day and age, too good to be true. Welcome to the world of living up to gaming expectations, Dig, at least on a professional level. :cheeky:

The press release is here:

The GI reveal eclipsed it, but that was the plan. Press releases are usually worded rather boring, and often don't get read.

I think I have some experience at trying to live up to an unreasonable level of hype, but yes, it's different this time. :D

It sounds really interesting, Dan! I've posted a thread on the FM forum for folk who don't usually visit here.

If it helps, I think just about everyone here has WAY more faith in you guys pulling it off than we do in Eidos Montreal.

I don't suppose there's any kind of projected/estimated release date?

(Sorry, I had to ask)

I appreciate that. :)

And we indeed do have that thing you asked about. ;)

LOL! You had me completely fooled, Digi! I really thought it was Arx Fatalis 2 you and Purah were working on!

Dishonored looks like it's going to be amazing! And yay for a fresh new IP!!

Interesting. The picture is kind of confusing, the game is set in the future?

Excellent news, Dan! I'm happy for you and looking forward to playing it.

Excellent news! It sounds like a great idea, and I'll be hoping to get a first-day release to support you and Purah :)

Edit - I have (http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/dishonored) posted a thread at GOG Forums, since they sell Arx DRM-free there, just to spread the word. Had to edit the post though as I spelt" Dishonored" with the British English spelling :D

I never told you anything, Shimon. I just never denied anything you guessed. ;)

I believe the artwork is intentionally obfuscating. It'll all make sense soon.
