Since the release of Dishonored 2 in 2016 and the Death of the Outsider expansion, fans of the franchise have been craving a new adventure. Unfortunately, Arkane Studios seems to have turned the page, although the developers have been exploring a third game. Indeed, according to information from Jason Schreier, Dishonored 3 has been canceled. "Before its closure, Arkane was looking to reconnect with its roots. By offering a new single-player "immersive sim" game like a new installment in the Dishonored series," he revealed in 2024. What if all is not lost? A new game has been mentioned by one of the creators but...
Will Dishonored 3 ever come out? It's complicated...
After Jason Schreier's revelation last year, can we still believe in a hypothetical Dishonored 3? Raphael Colantonio, one of the co-founders of Arkane Studios, made a statement that will greatly please the many fans of the series... but be careful! " I would love to - I mean, we're talking totally hypothetical at this point - but I could definitely see myself working on Dishonored 3. Because it's been so long now that, you know, why not?" he said on the Quad Game Podcast.
"After Dishonored 1, the last thing I wanted to do for the next four years of my life was Dishonored 2. Generally, I like to create new things." And he started creating new things since he released Weird West with his company WolfEye Studios is working on a new game. Although Raphael Colantonio, nothing is decided yet and it will perhaps and surely remain only a dream.
Indeed, for a Dishonored 3 to become reality, the planets would have to align and current or former members of Arkane Studios would have to come together or collaborate. " Many people [who worked on the series] are scattered, and Harvey [Smith] is no longer at Arkane. I am not at Arkane and Dinga [Bakaba] is working on Marvel's Blade. " Given that it's more of a dream than anything else, Colantonio isn't ready to reveal secrets, but has revealed the existence of "three versions," ideas, a potential third installment. "I don't think it's wise to talk about it since it's science fiction at this point."
