Release:	2016-11-11
Genre:	Action
Developer:	Arkane Studios

The second installment of the series tells the story after the events of the first Dishonored. Now, except for Corvo, we can also control Empress Emily Kaldwin.

Besides the fact that the game continues with the story from the first installment, the mechanisms it features are very much like those we know from the first title of the series. The key component here is the Outsider’s mark, which enables the player to use special abilities.

Key features
Follow the continuation of the story from the first Dishonored – choose if you want to play as Corvo Attano or Emily Kaldwin. Although you can decide to reject the Outsider’s mark, once you accept it, you get unique abilities, one of which is time manipulation (upgrade it and you will be able to freeze the time at once)! Just like the previous game, Dishonored 2 features the mixture of stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving – all of that in the immersive first-person perspective. Perhaps you have completed the game with all the powers? Try it once again without them – just reject the mark. Unique character development thanks to complex development trees lets you play as you like – according to your style!
