"Dishonored 2," a sequel to the 2012 stealth action-adventure video game "Dishonored," is set to be released on Nov. 11. Players will be treated to a whole new experience as the new game will come with two protagonists. It will also feature two main characters from the first game installment.
"Dishonored 2's" major two characters will have their own unique individual tools and abilities based on their personalities. Players can take control of Emily Kaldwin and Corvo Attano in this new stealth game. More information about the background and nature of the characters will be revealed soon, Movie News Guide reported.
"Dishonored 2" release will celebrate a 15-year gap with the release of the first "Dishonored" game. Corvo was the protagonist in the first game and his actions had a huge impact on Emily's childhood. Due to the events and circumstances around her, she was trained by Corvo to be a capable fighter making her both an Empress and assassin. Her major role in the first game could be one of the reasons why developers made her as one of the playable characters in the second game installment.
According to "Dishonored 2" co-creative director Harvey Smith, Emily was groomed to be an Empress since childhood. She then ascended to the throne as an Empress when her mother was assassinated. However, everything came to an end when a usurper seized the throne, Gameranx reported.
"Dishonored 2" will highlight Emily's attire, abilities, and weapons as reflected her royal origins. Her asymmetrical cut jacket was simple, but elegantly designed. Her crossbow and swords' details showed that it was created by the best craftsmen in the Empire. Her special abilities, on the other hand, also reflects her royal origin as she can control the crowd and distract her foes.
In the upcoming "Dishonored 2," Corvo will still possess most of his abilities such as teleportation, summoning and mild time manipulation. Corvo will be voice enabled, which gives players a whole new player-interface experience.
