Watch The Insane Launch Trailer For ‘Dishonored 2’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Somehow, again, another incredible looking title completely slid under my radar.

Bethesda has just debuted the official launch trailer for Dishonored 2, and I think it may be the first Dishonored video that I’ve ever seen. How? With the first title being as celebrated as it is… I really have no idea.

In the game, you’ll “Reprise your role as a supernatural assassin in Dishonored 2, the next chapter in the award-winning Dishonored saga by Arkane Studios. As either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano, travel beyond the legendary streets of Dunwall to Karnaca – a once-dazzling coastal city that holds the key to restoring Emily to power. Armed with the mark of the Outsider and powerful new supernatural abilities, hunt down your enemies and forever alter the fate of the Empire.”

Pre-orders get to play the game a day early, and also include a copy of Dishonored: Definitive Edition, so if you missed out on the first game, it’s Game of the Year Edition, and its re-release, you won’t be left in the dark any longer.

For now, take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up Dishonored 2 on November 11th!

E3 2016: The ‘Dishonored 2’ Gameplay Trailer Is Here!

by Josh Jackson

With so much buzz surrounding Dishonored 2, the follow up to 2012’s surprise hit, we knew Bethesda would touch on it during their E3 press conference this year. What we didn’t know was how great it would look in motion, building on what was an already popular game with new powers and abilities to eliminate your targets with.

As one of two supernatural assassins, Dishonored 2 is clearly hoping to build on the strengths of the original by allowing players to approach taking out their targets in a variety of ways. The gameplay trailer alone shows off how our protagonists can summon mystical powers to make enemies their playthings, attack them with traditional swords and guns, or even avoid direct conflict altogether by utilizing the game’s stealth and hostage mechanics, all while taking place in a unique setting that blends industrial society with the world of mysticism. If you couldn’t tell, it’s looking like there will be plenty to enjoy no matter what your play style is when Dishonored 2 releases in on November 11 of this year on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

If you haven’t had a chance to watch the trailer, do it now and tell us what you think of Arkane Studios’ next entry in the Dishonored series.

E3 2016: ‘Prey’ Resurfaces… And Looks Nothing Like You Would Expect

by Josh Jackson

It’s been years since Prey 2 was announced, with an endless cycle of delays making it seem like we might never see the follow up to 2006’s cult classic shooter. During Bethesda’s E3 2016 press conference, they revealed that the game has been retooled, seemingly sharing little with its Xbox 360 and PC predecessor.

Now simply titled Prey, the new trailer follows Morgan Yu, a test subject who has been ran through countless experiments for the betterment of the human race. After waking up aboard a space station in the year 2032, Yu finds himself stranded on a ship overrun by hostile aliens. Using his unique abilities alongside any weapons he can find, Morgan will uncover the secrets surrounding the station and the experiments he was subjected to, all while fighting to survive his terrifying ordeal.

Developed by Arkane Studios, the team behind Dishonored, it’s safe to say that this new Prey game is a sequel in name only. With a new development team and a completely different premise, I’m really disappointed to see the portals and gravity physics disappear. Often seen as Portal years before Portal would be released, I can’t help but feel that Prey is losing some of its identity in the transition. With that said, Arkane is a very talented studio, and I have faith that they will be able to deliver a product worth playing when the game launches in 2017. Either way, it will be hard to wonder what could have been.
