IGN:Bethesda has announced that Dishonored’s Knife of Dunwall downloadable content will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on April 16th. The pack will cost $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points) and allows players to take on the role of Daud, the mysterious assassin who killed the Empress at the beginning of Dishonored.
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is a damn good piece of DLC but it can be a bit of a hard sell. Not only is it a bit on the short side, clocking in at only about two or three hours, but the story is clearly only a portion of the whole. Since we know that the third, and final, piece of DLC is also story related Daud’s story will almost certainly be resolved there. So it almost boils down to it being like an episodic game in the form of DLC.
Dishonored is not known for its length as much as its gameplay, which makes the newest DLC, The Knife of Dunwall, a welcome addition to an otherwise short experience. Not only does it add a few more levels to the game, but lets players take the role of Daud, leader of the group of assassins who go after Corvo, who is seeking redemption for what he has done to the Empress.
[slight spoilers] Loved seeing how even in the DLC, there were the subtle responses to how you played the game. For instance, depending on whether you did a ghost run or a violent playthrough of the first level, it would affect the actions of your partner at the beginning of the 2nd mission (whether she killed the guard or knocked him out).[end slight spoilers] Really fun seeing those changes playing through the game multiple times.
Anyways, great DLC package and I hope we get some news on the release date of the Brigmore Witches soon.
Baden of WGB writes: "Any excuse to step back into the wonderful world of Dishonored is good, not that you ever really need an excuse to go back and play a game you love. The Knife of Dunwall is the first of two story-based add-ons planned for Dishonored designed to tempt us back into the shadows, to tempt us to sharpen our skills and hone our blades once again. So, the simple question: is it actually any good? Yup."
Very cool.
Always liked side-story content like this.
Just happy to see story dlc for this game, really.
Dishonored was my game of 2012.
when are they releasing the actual gameplay?
Search for redemption? I guess this takes place after Corvo let him live which i did in my full stealth play through. Looking forward to this new DLC, loved Dishonored.
Yeah Dishonored was a very enjoyable experience so ill definitely be picking this up. I didn't stop playing it until i finished it so that in itself was a good sign for me.
Wish it came sooner or as part of the game. Would've really fleshed it out.
