Dishonored

Dishonored Developer Arkane Working on Next-Gen Title

Arkane Studios has joined the growing list of studios reportedly working on next-generation titles.

The Dishonored developer is currently advertising for a Senior Engine Programmer with a passion for FPS and RPG games to work on a title for PC and “next-gen consoles.”

It’s not a great surprise, as the new consoles are expected to be on shelves by the end of the year. But it is heartening news from a highly-regarded developer on the back of a great success.

Could the game be a Dishonored sequel? Last year VP of PR and Marketing at publisher Bethesda Pete Hines said, “we're very pleased and appreciate all the fans that have supported Dishonored and Arkane. We clearly have a new franchise."

Looks possible, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Dishonored is one of the few games in recent memory that really captured my attention.

These guys are talented and I will be buying their next title even if it happens to be based on the goddamn Teletubbies.

Dishonored is utterly amazing, a new next gen game is more than welcome

It's already confirmed that Dishonored will be a franchise, which means sequels and spin-offs.

@1 I have played the game, and I have no idea what you mean. The sequel to the story doesn't have to include the same characters - it could simply be set in the same world dealing with the aftermath of the first game.

Or they could do a prequel. Or they could do a completely unrelated story in the same world.

The term 'sequel' here is just being used to indicate another potential game in the franchise, not necessarily a direct follow up to the story of the original title.

Frankly, I hope we get more of these - I loved the first game and I'd be really interested to explore more of Dunwall and/or the wider world of the setting.

I have had Dishonoured for a couple of months now! I need to find time to play that game, it looks so good. I've only heard good things about it.

Good to know they are cracking on with work. :)

@6 I know it doesn't have to have the same characters, but I just can't imagine Dishonored without Corvo.

I never saw what all the hype was about with Dishonored, it just felt clunky as shit.

@9: You'll very shortly get that chance. Well, not very. The Daud DLC will (I would think) reprise Michael Madsen as the leader of the Whalers and all-around badass. This is significant because one of the few wrinkles for many was a silent protagonist. And they read feedback closely, so they'll be informed immediately rather than having to wait for sales info.

It's not Dishonored without the Outsider's mark opening up Blink: that's the eye opener. And we might get that awesome power they couldn't figure out how to balance for this game in a prospective sequel---the ability to turn into shadows, which potentially would have meant moving under any door or crevice in general, melting into an enemy's shadow to follow him and so forth. Man I hope they can do it. Also, Pandyssia or bust. Really hope this happens even while I don't since it ended cleanly.

It depends on how you ended Dishonored 1 as well, So it will probably be a new story. Even though everyone probably played through it twice and got both endings.

this so called next gen stuff needs to stop. all i see is lee doing fhe gosip thing. i'm not buying into this. nothing official has been announced. its just getting peoples hopes up for nothing. next gen is likely years off still. the patients maybe going through. but i doubt it, the industry needs to change. all this is is a game being done on pc. then maybe what consoles are out by then. which looks like this gen. graphics and such look this gen. companies are always making posts to hire fresh blood. nothing really new here.

I love the Dishonored setting, so I hope they do something more with it. I'd love to go to other areas of Pandyssia, or maybe they could do something with another Lord Protector from Dunwall's history or future.

Dishonored was an awesome game with a not so great first DLC, hope to see better content released for the game.
But I' m really looking forward to a sequel for it.

Dishonored is one of the best games I've played in recent years, but I hope Arkane isn't jumping straight into the next one. Although I would like to see the Isle of Serkonos, I'd rather this next-gen game be a second IP from Arkane AND THEN Dishonored 2 in 2014 or around there.
