Dishonored remains one of Arkane Studios' defining achievements more than a decade after its debut, with the studio producing three critically acclaimed entries, all of which are undisputed bangers in the genre. Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Death of the Outsider all continue to rank among the greatest immersive sims ever made, up there with legendary titles like BioShock and Deus Ex.
Despite years of silence from Bethesda, fans have never stopped campaigning for a proper sequel, with discussion around Dishonored 3 regularly reignited by "leaks," industry rumors, and comments from former Arkane developers suggesting ideas for another installment still exist. More recently, uncertainty surrounding Arkane amid Microsoft's XBOX restructuring has only intensified concern over the franchise's future, making the prospect of returning to Dunwall or the wider Empire of the Isles feel more uncertain.
However, Dishonored is officially making an epic return in 2026 with a brand-new game that is confirmed to arrive before the end of the year, and longtime fans of the franchise will definitely want to keep their ear to the ground for an announcement coming soon (via Gamefound).
Dishonored is making a return later this year with the launch of the officially licensed board game...
