Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where strange steampunk- inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. Corvo Attono was the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, he became an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become his calling card.
In a time of uncertainty, when the city is besieged by plague and ruled by a corrupt government armed with industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon him abilities beyond those of any common man – but at what cost? The truth behind his betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life he once had is gone forever.
