Good news, "Dishonored" fans! Bethesda has recently confirmed that "Dishonored 2" will be officially launched in November. The announcement of the game sequel's release date came several months after developer Arkane Studios disclosed its development at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
"Dishonored 2" was first unveiled at Bethesda's E3 press conference last year, along with a tentative release window in the spring of 2016. So, as "Dishonored 2" release date has finally announced, here are 5 interesting scoops about Arkane Studios' supernatural thriller and stealth-action game.
1. 'Dishonored 2' Protagonists And Setting

As for "Dishonored 2" setting, the sequel ditches Dunwall, the first game's location. It takes players to Karnaca, Corvo's birthplace but it is also the source of the "corrupted" Bone Charms that bestowed passive upgrade to players in "The Knife of Dunwall" DLC of "Dishonored."
