Dishonored 2 is a 2016 first person action-adventure game developed by Arkane Lyon and published by Bethesda Softworks for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. It is the sequel to 2012's Dishonored. After Empress Emily Kaldwin is deposed by the witch Delilah Copperspoon, the player may choose between playing as either Emily or her father/Royal Protector Corvo Attano as they attempt to reclaim the throne. Emily and Corvo each employ their own array of supernatural abilities, though the player can opt not to use these abilities at all. Due to the game's nonlinear gameplay, there are a multitude of ways to complete missions, from non-lethal stealth to purposeful violent conflict.
