Dishonored Series on Hiatus

Arkane Studios is best known for making the reboot Prey and the Dishonored series. However, with Death of the Outsider ending the game's current story what does the future hold for the franchise.

When speaking to VG24/7 lead designer Richardo Bare explained"

“I can’t say definitively what might happen down the road, anything could happen, but [Dishonored] is resting for now,” Bare tells me. “As far as pure immersive sims go, I don’t know if we’re going to continue to make like carbon copy – this qualifies as an immersive sim and it’s the only thing we’re ever going to make.

“The things that are important to us as a studio are coherent, deep world building and environmental storytelling – we’re always going to craft spaces that you feel like you’re visiting, whether it’s Dunwall or Talos 1. It’s just as important a character as the player or the people you meet. Then it’s improvisational gameplay – giving players a bunch of cool abilities and tools, then saying, ‘You figure it out, you be creative, you own the experience’. And, typically, we stick to first-person, though that’s not a hard rule and we might try other things from time to time.”

It might be a while until we get a new game, which is a pity. The first game pushed the boundaries of open-world freedom and the sequel game built on those mechanics by providing more powers, options, and branching story elements. The latest installment gave players a solid finale to Corvo, Emily, and the Outsider's story but there's still so much Arkane can explore with this series.

Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is now available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Dishonored is also available for Xbox 360 and PS3.
