It's a weekend filled with big Bethesda sales across multiple digital retailers. After a quick look, the best deal resides at GMG where it is beating out Steam and Bundle Stars on pricing. So, if you've been enjoying Dishonored 2's demo and...   read

Five months after the fervor has subsided, Bethesda's looking to cash in on a few more residual Dishonored 2 sales. The "try before you buy" model has proven itself proficient in the past -- especially when there's no real threat that ...   read

[Boy howdy, the outfits the heroines of recently released games wear are not only cool and elegant but surprisingly doable in real life. It was cool to scroll down this cblog to see video game characters in their default models, then real-l...   read

After going through a beta release on Steam, the second major update for Dishonored 2 is now live on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One with custom difficulty settings and a mission select option. With the first option, you can tinker with 20-...   read

Carrie Fisher, who sadly passed away this week, was mostly known for her iconic role in the Star Wars series as Princess Leia. Thing is, she rarely provided voice-over work to any games, including those based on Star Wars. It was a big deal...   read

Prepped and ready to take on New Game Plus in Dishonored 2? If so, you'll be able to play the mode as early as today on PC, where it's currently available in beta form. The finalized update is set for PC as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox On...   read

Like I noted earlier: Dishonored 2 makes killing fun, even it'd rather you not. The first is probably my favorite. There's a nut-shot that's pretty good, though. And of course I am partial to the way I did it: entering Jindosh's Clockwork ...   read

I play Dishonored 2 unseen and murder-free, but for as much as I like to convince myself that's the "right" way to play, kicking fools off of roofs and doing trick grenade throws is some good shit.   read

Arkane and Bethesda have passed along word that new custom difficulty settings and a New Game Plus mode are in the works for Dishonored 2 next month. They'll arrive in an update, with the exact date TBA. Not exactly a lot to go on here, but...   read

Dishonored was a game that I meticulously inched my way through, taking extreme care to not alert anyone of my presence. It was an exhilarating experience in a way. I was seconds from fucking up at any given time. Although I haven't p...   read

Not much has changed since my first few hours in the world of Dishonored 2, and that's mostly a good thing. Beyond some problems with the general choppiness of the console version, Corvo and Emily have proven that they're a pair worth revis...   read

[Update: GfK has issued a statement that Infinite Warfare's 65% drop is actually 55%, which is lower than Black Ops III's similar drop. Bethesda has yet to comment on Dishonored.] This year the movie business dealt with lower returns on seq...   read

[Dishonored 2 is out today, and Chris is warping and killing his way through Karnaca to give you a review as soon as he can. In the meantime, you could read my extremely-last-minute interview with co-creative director Harvey Smith belo...   read

There was something about Dishonored that prevented me from loving it like literally everyone else when it was released back in 2012. I eventually warmed up to it with the DLC and the spectacular characterization of Daud, but Corv...   read

Last week, we reported on the minimum and recommended PC specs for Dishonored 2 offering commentary that they "shouldn't cause high chaos." Everything seemed modest enough, reasonable-looking requirements for a triple-A title. As early...   read

It's one Triple-A after another this Fall as now Dishonored 2 heads to all major platforms later this Friday. Interested gamers should take note that Bethesda's latest title has quite a few strong pre-purchase incentives, including a f...   read

Choice is one of Dishonored's defining features. It's not the sort of thing where you press one or the other buttons to decide. Instead, it's woven into the gameplay. It's the constant pull between shedding blood and acting mercifully. Som...   read

In 10 days' time, Corvo continues his saga (with Emily!) in the coastal city of Karnaca when Dishonored 2 launches. Whether or not you play as a peaceful or cruel protagonist is your choice. Just know that the game probably won't assa...   read

[Update: This post originally ran on September 26, 2016. I told you all. I told you. In this post from a couple weeks back talking about the most anticipated games left for 2016, I mentally elided Gravity Rush 2, my most anticipated game fo...   read

Bethesda showed off two minutes of gameplay back at Gamescom on a level called the Clockwork Mansion. Now it has released an extended eight-minute look at the bizarre mansion that shape-shifts like a steampunk version of Hogwarts. Frankly i...   read

Below is the achievement list for Dishonored 2 -- which I'll be playing tomorrow -- with the achievements helpfully separated into a general category, and story-related ones that you might consider to be spoilers. If you do, don't read thos...   read

Get ready to be annoyed about where you live. Bethesda is hosting Dishonored 2 fan events in select cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York) where you'll be able to play the game ahead of its November 11 release, enjoy themed food and ...   read

One of the great things about Dishonored is that it's one of those games where killing is a totally viable option, but it's just that -- an option. Running through Dunwall without any murder is an accomplishment worthy of the hig...   read

The last Dishonored 2 trailer out of QuakeCon was Corvo-heavy, which is fine, if you're into that sort of thing. That's fine, no judgment. Some of my best friends are Corvo. But this gamescom trailer shifts the focus back to the other prot...   read
