Recently, the French company Arkane Studios posted a vacancy for a lead level designer. Fans immediately assumed that the developers were creating a new game in the Dishonored universe.
Two facts point to this: in October, the franchise will turn 10 years old and the job description itself. One of the requirements for the candidate is an understanding of the design philosophy of “adventure stealth games like the Dishonored series”.
It is unlikely that a future employee will be sent to the Redfall development team, since the game is a cooperative action game. With the title recently pushed back to early 2023, a new Dishonored game may be in the early stages of development.
Most of Dishonored 2’s endings leave no room for a sequel, but Arkane can make the next game’s protagonist a different character. Even if the studio makes a new IP in the stealth action genre, many gamers will still be satisfied.
