Bethesda Announce 'Dishonored' - Deus Ex Spiritual Successor?
Bethesda have announced a new FPS called Dishonored, developed by their recently acquired Arkane Studios.
The development of the game is being headed by Ralph Colantonio and Harvey Smith, lead designers on Arx Fatalis and Deus Ex respectively. Yes, Deus Ex everybody! The title is said to be a first-person stealth action adventure, so raise those eyebrows even higher. The designer of Half-Life 2's City 17, Viktor Antonov is also on board.
The first details on Dishonored will be revealed in the exclusive cover story in Game Informer’s August issue, due out July 15th.
Colantonio had the following to say:
At Arkane we have a passion for creating deep, immersive game experiences. To be able to finally share details of our project is both extremely exciting and satisfying.
Game Informer have given a further insight into the game:
Dishonored is the antithesis of a edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride. It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone. It's a game about infiltration where you can set up traps and slaughter the entire garrison of an aristocrat's mansion rather than sneak in. It's a game about brutal violence where you can slip in and out of a fortified barracks with nobody ever knowing you were there. It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees.
Dishonored is set for a 2012 release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
Further details will be unveiled on the game's official website: http://www.dishonored.com/
