Of all the unmade sequels that I’d like to exist, Dishonored 3 is at the top of the list. The original Dishonored<\/a> ranks among my favourite games ever (especially when you throw in its incredible<\/a> expansions<\/a>), while Dishonored 2 is generally regarded as one of the best games of all time.<\/p>\n

Sadly, a third game never happened due to the second selling below publisher Bethesda’s expectations, and the chances of it being made anytime soon remain highly unlikely. Dishonored 2’s developer Arkane Lyon is currently working on a Blade<\/a> game headed up by Deathloop’s director Dinga Bakaba, while its sister studio Arkane Austin shut down<\/a> last year following 2023’s underwhelming<\/a> Redfall<\/p>\n

But where there is a will, there is a way. And for Arkane cofounder and Dishonored codirector Rapha\u00ebl Colantonio, the will at least is there. Speaking on the Quad Damage<\/a> podcast (via RPS<\/a>), Colantonio said that he generally likes to work on totally new games, and especially felt that way after the first Dishonored.<\/p>\n

“After Dishonored 1, the last thing I wanted to do for the next four years of my life was Dishonored 2,” Colantonio said on the podcast, adding. “In general I like to create new stuff” Hence why Dishonored 2 was directed by Harvey Smith, while Colantonio oversaw 2017’s Prey<\/a> at Arkane Austin. While Prey is technically part of the same series as Human Head’s 2006 shooter, it’s worth noting that the name was apparently foisted onto the project<\/a> against Colantonio’s wishes.<\/p>\n
