DISHONORED 2 Collaboration Announced by Titan Books & Bethesda Softworks

London – Titan Books and Bethesda Softworks are delighted to announce a multi-platform publishing partnership for Dishonored 2, the next chapter in the award-winning Dishonored saga by Arkane Studios. This exciting multi-platform publishing program from Titan Books and the Titan Comics divisions includes three original novels, an all-new new four part comic mini-series, and a graphic novel collection that will bridge the story of events between Dishonored,the first-person action blockbuster and winner of more than 100 ‘Game of the Year’ awards including the BAFTA for ‘Best Game of 2012’, and the upcoming highly-anticipated new installment to the series, Dishonored 2.

The city of Dunwall; whaling capital of Gristol and industrial hub of the Empire of the Isles. 

Twelve years have passed since Corvo Attano scuppered the Lord Regent’s duplicitous plot against the crown and cleared his name of the Empress Jessamine’s murder. 

Now a little older and perhaps a little wiser, Corvo sets his sights on the future and securing an apprentice to continue his legacy.  But when confronted by an impossible face from his past, the supernaturally-gifted assassin finds himself drawn once again into an otherworldly conspiracy, one that threatens to shake the very foundations of his ancient city.
