Dishonored is not dead – Arkane Studios told what happened to the series and what you can expect from it in the future

Adventure Series Dishonored from the team Arkane studios rallied around a very dedicated group of fans, but in recent years has disappeared from the radar. Shortly after release Dishonored: death of the outsider one of the senior project development managers Ricardo Bear said the lineupit’s time to relax

Then, against the background of not the highest sales Dishonored 2, many users and profile sites confidently assumed that now new stories are amazing and gloomy Empire Island definitely not worth the wait.

However in reality rumors of “of death Dishonored“significantly exaggerated, as in a new interview on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the studio said Ding Bakaba, creative director Arkane studios.

“Firstly, all of this was an extremely interesting experience for us. Previously, we never did sequels, so creating [Dishonored 2] it seemed really entertaining to us. But rumors of freezing this IP are overblown and misinterpreted.

You see, there is a noticeable difference between plans for creating something and their further implementation. This is not the same thing. The decision to “freeze” Dishonored was not made by us. That same quote was simply misinterpreted, “explains Ding Bakaba.

Moreover, despite the fact that now Arkane does not want to make direct statements regarding future parts Dishonored, at least one fact is known – it should be expected that potential sequel will tell about completely new heroes: dynasty history Kolduin came to an end.

“We wanted to tell the players about the Sorcerers and the Alien, and now this storyline is completed. Regardless of our plans, this Dishonored chapter is finished and closed. This is the most straightforward and honest answer I can give you now. In the future we will not touch on these characters. This is our creative decision. Someone may disagree with this, but we believe that there is no longer reason to return to this aspect of the universe, “the developer continues.

In custody Dinga Bakaba added that he always tries to remind fans that Arkane studios has never been and never will be a company of only one franchise. For French developers, it is very important to develop, experiment and find new ways to implement their mechanics, interactive worlds full of amazing stories, and open spaces for study.
