'Dishonored 2' release date, news & update: Live-action trailer shows a braver Emily Kaldwin
A live action trailer for "Dishonored 2" has just been released by Bethesda Softworks, making fans and curious gamers alike more excited for the upcoming release of the stealth action-adventure game.
Being the sequel to the award-winning title released in 2012, "Dishonored 2" has some big shoes to fill, and whether or not it will manage to match, or better yet, surpass its predecessor's achievements remains to be seen. But if the live-action trailer is any indication, it looks like Arkane Studio's about to add another award-winning title to their roster.
The live-action trailer released on Oct. 24 bears the title "Take Back What's Yours" and features the two returning characters, Corvo Attano and a grown-up Emily Kaldwin, along with the game's big bad, a witch named Delilah.The latter seems to have forcibly taken over the throne of the Isles.
Erica Luttrell provides the voice of the adult Emily, who does the voiceover for the trailer accompanied by Ruelle's "Take It All." The witch Delilah seems to have underestimated the rightful Empress to the throne of the Isles, but now that Emily has decided to take back what's hers with help from the Royal Protector, Corvo, the usurper witch will sure be in for quite a challenge. Players of the game can thus enjoy hours of epic game play.
The game will take place in the southern city of Karnaca and gives players a choice between two different versions of the same game as seen and played through the eyes of either Emily or Corvo.
Corvo's version provides the stealthy element of the game since he prefers ghosting through the streets to silently unravel the mysteries at the heart of the Empire of the Isles. Meanwhile, Emily's version provides more of the action element of the title as she prefers to take to the streets in a violent campaign to take back her throne.
"You never thought I would fight back. You never saw me as a threat," Emily's voiceover says in the trailer as she slowly walks towards Delilah. "You don't know me, but you will," she adds.
"Dishonored 2" will be released on Nov. 11 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Pre-ordering the standard edition from the official "Dishonored" site comes with a one-day early access, an Imperial Assassin's pack, a digital copy of "Dishonored" Definitive Edition with all add-on content, an antique Serkonan guitar and 500 coins that can be used in illegal Black Market shops.
Meanwhile, pre-ordering the collector's edition comes with all of the perks of the standard edition plus premium replicas of Corvo's mask and Emily's ring, an exclusive metal game case and limited edition posters.
