About Dishonored
Dishonored is Arkane Studios' stealth-action series set in the whale-oil powered Empire of the Isles, running from 2012 to 2017. This play order follows release order, which matches the story order, and starts newcomers with the first game, ideally the Definitive Edition that bundles both story expansions.
The two Daud chapters sit between the first game and its sequel, and Death of the Outsider closes the narrative arc about the Outsider. No new Dishonored game has been announced.
Good to know
The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches were released as DLC for the first game and are included in the Definitive Edition. Deathloop (2021) is set in the same universe according to Arkane but tells a separate story and is not listed. Arkane founders discussed hypothetical Dishonored 3 ideas in August 2026 interviews, but nothing is in development; Arkane Lyon is making Marvel's Blade.
