And I love the tagline: "Revenge solves everything."

Which isn't exactly true. Ask Kratos!

Release date and boxart revealed! October, 9 in North America, and October, 12 in Europe.

May 10, 2012 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Dishonored, the supernatural assassin action game under development at Arkane® Studios, will be available in North America on October 9, 2012 and throughout Europe on October 12, 2012. Developed under the direction of co-creative directors Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith, Dishonored is slated for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.

Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where steampunk- inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. You are Corvo, the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress who has been murdered. Framed for the crime, you become an infamous assassin, known by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is besieged by plague and ruled by a corrupt government armed with frightening technologies, dark forces bestow supernatural abilities upon you – but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.

Creatively eliminate your enemies with Dishonored’s flexible combat system as you combine supernatural abilities with weapons and gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your targets under the cover of darkness or boldly attack them head on with weapons drawn. The outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make.

“We are pleased that Dishonored has captured people’s attention,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “We are looking forward to sharing lots more information about the game leading up to its launch in October, and having a hands-on build of Dishonored in our booth at E3!”

New Trailer:

I can now safely say that the possibility of me buying Assassin's Creed 3 instead of this has now been stabbed grotesquely in the neck, tossed in the sea and then subsequently electrified.

I'm not sure about this game. It could either end up awesome or horrible.

Moar Gameplay.

The potentiel of this game is clearly underrated. Taking possession of the mind of a fish, to get through the sewer and enter a building... This just blows my mind.

These masks are going to become as famous as Bioshock's.

I think they chose a good cast for this game. John Slattery was just amazing in The Adjustment Bureau and Iron Man 2. Carrie Fisher was awesome as Princess Leia, and Lena Headley looks like an awesome villain for Dredd 3D. Hopefully they announce more people to be in this.

The first 20 minutes of Dishonored.

And Totalbiscuit does a walkthrough and reviews the PC version of the game:

It seems pretty fun. I'll check it out when I have money to spare.

I'll probably play as someone who lacks any sort of subtlety and just blasts his way through anything and everything in his way. So yes, I'll be playing it the fun way. Gungho time nerds.

I've got my copy! I'm ready to fulfill the craving for steampunk I've had since I saw the first trailer of Bioshock Infinite. And also to appease the psychopathic and sadistic urges hidden deep in the recesses of my soul

I want Dishonored. I want it inside me.

After I've grabbed something for lunch, that is.

Kinky, but maybe having the game for lunch would prove to be a less emotional/awkward method of having it inside you.

This game's the first one this year that I'm loving as much as the best games of 2011. It's like Thief 2 would've been if it were an assassination game, with a few traces of Bioshock and Deus Ex here and there.

I'm pretty sure those lunatics at PETA are going to rally against Dishonored. You can kill rats and dogs, some books describe how whalers remove the blubber for whale oil while the whale's still alive, and there's a kennel where they train hounds (and put down the disobedient ones).
