Little is known about Arkane Studios' Dishonored, except the names behind the game, but a few more details have been revealed via Game Informer , as the magazine teases its next major feature. A first screenshot was also released, seen above. So what's the story behind Dishonored? Players will be stepping into the shoes of Corvo, a man who once served as the Empress' legendary bodyguard. When the Empress dies, he's accused of murdering her, though it's obvious he's not the real culprit. In order to reclaim his name and set right the wrongs of a corrupt power, Corvo must fight. The man boasts some pretty unique powers and an extensive knowledge of gadgets. One specific example is the ability to summon rats and use them against your targets -- or possessing a single rat and escaping from harm. Obviously this isn't the extent of his abilities, just a juicy teaser. What's also interesting is the impact of Corvo's actions on the world around him. The game measures how violent your actions are, and a "chaos" system tracks the collateral damage you cause. As you progress, the game world will change based on these assessments.
