Dishonored sequel officially announced

Bethesda officially announced a sequel to the critically acclaimed 2012 Dishonored title during E3 yesterday.

Dishonored 2 will be set 15 years after the Lord Regent has been vanquished and the dreaded Rat Plague has passed into history.

An otherworldly usurper has seized the throne from Empress Emily Kaldwin, leaving the fate of the Isles hanging in the balance. Playing as either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano, you travel beyond the legendary streets of Dunwall to Karnaca – a once-dazzling coastal city that holds the key to restoring Emily to power.

Both Kaldwin and Attano feature their own unique set of supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets.

Available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, the title is scheduled to be released in Spring 2016.

Several screenshots were also released, shown below, along with an announcement trailer, shown above.

A Definitive Edition of the original Dishonored was also previously announced during E3.
