Dishonored 2 is the sequel to Dishonored developed by Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks. It was released on November 11, 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Set in 1852, fifteen years after the Dunwall Rat Plague, the Empire begins to plunge into chaos after Empress Emily Kaldwin is suddenly dethroned by an "otherworldly usurper" and becomes an outlaw to society. Determined to claim it back, Emily follows in the steps of her royal protector and father, Corvo Attano, by becoming an assassin. Armed with the Outsider's mark, she intends to reclaim her title and restore power to what has been lost.

The player can choose to play as Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano; gameplay is almost virtually the same between the both of them, except for some dialogue changes and powers exclusive to each character (e.g., Corvo can use Bend Time whereas Emily can use Mesmerize).

Though the game begins and ends in Dunwall, most of the action takes place in Karnaca, the so-called "Jewel of the South" and features nine missions.
