Arkane could announce a new Dishonored game at The Game Awards

Arkane Studios' recent projects, Deathloop and the somewhat lackluster Redfall, showcased the studio's commitment to innovative gameplay and storytelling, though with varying degrees of success.

The potential return to the Dishonored universe represents not only a homecoming to a beloved franchise but also a chance for Arkane to revisit and refine the elements that have defined its success.

This comes after Ricardo Bare from Arkane Austin indicated that the Dishonored series was "resting", leading many to believe it was on hold. However, Arkane Lyon's Dinga Bakaba later clarified the series needs new protagonists, as the narrative arc of Corvo and Emily had already come full circle.

Moreover, Bakaba revealed an intriguing detail - Deathloop and Dishonored share the same universe. This revelation adds an interesting dimension to the prospect of a new Dishonored game, raising questions about potential crossovers or shared elements with the time-loop adventure of Deathloop.

It's entirely possible that the next game in the growing universe will be a Deathloop sequel, as previously hinted by the voice actors.

With The Game Awards being a prestigious platform for major announcements, it's plausible Arkane Lyon might choose this moment to unveil their next big project. Whether it's a new IP or the much-anticipated Dishonored 3, fans are waiting for December 7 for a potential glimpse into the future of one of gaming's most revered studios.

If it does end up being true, we're hoping that Microsoft gives Arkane a chance to release its next game on PlayStation 5. Otherwise, it might not get the spotlight it needs if it's exclusive to Xbox Series S/X.
