Bethesda recently announced via the official bethesda development blog that more content for the much lauded Dishonored is on the way. Arkane are planning on releasing three DLC packs, 2 of which are story based and will feature the player taking control of a different character in the Dishonored universe. The first pack, which will release in December, has been dubbed the “Dunwall City Trials.” According to the blog it will feature 10 challenge maps that will “test and track your combat, stealth and mobility skills.” There will also be an arena battle mode that sound similar to the ‘horde’ mode that various other games employ which will most likely feature rounds of respawning enemies for the player to take down in any way they please.
This pack will run at $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points, release simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and contain additional achievements and trophies.
The second and third expansions will not release until 2013 with the earliest listed as spring. In the second expansion you will play as the leader of the supernatural assassins known as “The Whalers.” Duad will come with his own unique weapons and powers with his own choices that will effect the story in one way or another.
So how about it, are you ready for some more Dishonored?
More Dishonored Content On The Way (Bethblog)
The challenge-map modes seem at odds with Dishonored’s style. I guess at least they’re adding something, and story based DLC is coming too, which is good because everywhere I’ve read says that the game was on the short side unless you’re going to be playing through it 3 or more times. It seems like more games should deliver enough hours of entertainment to justify a $60 price tag, especially since I rarely play though a game more than once. With Hitman Absolution on the horizon, I kind of expect that Dishonored is probably going to be a ‘rental only’ game. These days I follow some advice I got from one of my coworkers at DISH and I don’t buy a game until after I’ve rented it and had a chance to log some hours on it. So now I use Blockbuster @Home; it’s saved me a good deal of money in the past six-seven months. So Dishonored is already in my Blockbuster @Home queue, and since I’m not already paying sixty bucks on the game, I don’t mind occasionally buying some DLC for a rental that I really like.
ReplyDeleteI can understand that. I bought dishonored day one an play it on a regular basis even after completing it but not everyone is into that.like hitman the amount of exploration and experimentation makes it easy for me personally to overlook its short length. Its also a new IP which is rare and bc of the quality one I will glady support in the hopes of new content down the line.
