New Dishonored 2 Video Shines the Spotlight on Emily Kaldwin

Developers, Arkane, talk about the journey of developing the new protagonist

As Dishonored 2 creeps ever closer, we are beginning to learn more and more about Arkane’s new stealth ’em up.

Releasing a new ‘Spotlight’ video on YouTube, the developers focus on the development of Emily Kaldwin, a new protagonist in Dishonored 2 who will be joining returning lead from the original Corvo Attano.

The video looks at some of the developers workings in producing Emily and her new powers, including looking at concept art and some of the thought process in making her an interesting and endearing character.

Having been trained by Corvo for the last 15 years, Emily is ready to put her powers to use and take back her throne after she was deposed by an otherworldly pretender, Deliliah Kaldwin.

I was sure when I picked up Dishonored 2 that I would immediately jump back to Corvo after getting used to his void-walking ways in the original game but I am getting more tempted to give the Empress a playthrough in the first instance, as she has some really cool powers and it feels like the story is more built to her character. She was usurped after all!

Whatever I pick, I am sure I will be playing multiple times anyway.

Dishonored 2 releases November 11th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
