More Dishonored details with a new video

Dishonoured is the next project from Bethesda Softworks, and couldn’t have a bigger act to follow. Fortunately, from the look of the latest trailer this isn’t going to be a problem.

Playing as Corvo, a bodyguard accused of the murder of the Empress he was trying to protect has been given special powers to exact his revenge and kill the ones who set him up. Pointing to a bigger purpose, Corvo must confront a corrupt government chasing new technologies and find the true purpose of the powers that were bestowed on him.

The game will allow a flexible combat system to eliminate enemies that foolishly stand in Corvo’s way. This means powers, weapons and gadgets can be combined to create devastating destruction… If you want to that is. The alternative option is to sneak through each mission unnoticed. The outcome will differ depending on which option the player takes.

Dishonoured is due to be released on the Xbox and PlayStation platforms on 12 October.
