The player encounters several characters from the past game that the royal protector had interacted with and has something to say about, but Emily can only mumble hearing about them from her father. While Emily may be the new protagonist and poster child for the sequel, it seems like the game was very much designed with Corvo in mind. Apart from that the story plays out in the exact same order for both, with the exact same targets from beginning to end, with only minor dialog differences in certain situations. Corvo retains an almost identical set of abilities from the first game with a few tweaks and additions, while Emily the newcomer to the franchise receives entirely different powers than those of her father.

The primary difference between the two are the supernatural powers each character has at their disposal. Once locked in there is no swapping back and forth and the story plays out from the perspective of the chosen protagonist. While in exile it is up to the player to eliminate Delilahs supporters one by one, weakening her treacherous cabal, all the while trying to determine the source of her powerful void magic and a way to break it.įrom the outset of the opening cinematic the player has the ability to choose who they wish to play as for the remainder of the game: Emily or Corvo. The sudden arrival of Delilah Copperspoon, the ostensibly estranged sister to the late empress and supposed true successor to the throne, springs forward a violent coup that sends our protagonists on the run. Unfortunately a life of luxury behind palace walls has dulled the senses of tired and aging Corvo, while youthful curiosity of the outside world likewise distracts Emily from spotting a sinister plot brewing right beneath their feet. Having avenged the death of empress Jessamine Kaldwin and rescued their daughter Emily, Corvo Attano resumes his duties as royal protector for the new empress at the heart of Dunwall.

Dishonored 2, developed by Arkane Studios SA, is a direct continuation of the story from the original game.
