Bethesda has officially revealed the next Dishonored DLC pack, which is titled The Knife of Dunwall.
The campaign add-on - and its follow-up DLC, The Brigmore Witches - will see players assume the role of Daud, the assassin who killed the Empress at the beginning of the main game, granting access to his weapons, gadgets, allies and supernatural abilities as he sets out on a journey for redemption.
Set for release on April 16 (April 17 on PS3 in Europe), the DLC will be priced at 800 MS Points (£6.85 / €9.60 / $10.00 / AUS13.20) on Xbox 360 and £7.99 / €9.99 / $9.99 / AU$14.45 on PS3 and PC. A release date for part two, which will conclude the story, hasn't been confirmed.

I enjoyed dishonored, but I thought there werent enough assassination missions, the one with the twins was great, but so much of the game was too linear

Linear!? Each level was essentially a mini-sandbox for you to explore. Sure, you have to go from A to B to C, but you could get there many different ways!

I had some fun with Dishonored, but I personally found it wanting.
I realise I'm probably in the minority but the story never got me involved and the subsequently for me the game never really evolved beyond go there and do that - I'll be giving this DLC a miss.
If you haven't played Dishnored its certainly worth a rental but not much beyond that.

Can't believe I nearly let this game pass me by, it's already one of my favourites.
Fingers crossed they are working on a new one for the next gen.

This looked very honorably good
