Dishonored 2 is all about player choice, and Bethesda has announced that a New Game + mode and custom difficulty settings will be included in a free upcoming update so people have even more ways to play. New Game + was surprisingly absent in Dishonored 2’s initial release.
Gary Steinman, global content lead at Bethesda, wrote, “Next month, Dishonored 2 will offer even more options to play your way. In a free update, Dishonored 2 will include a New Game + mode and new custom difficulty settings. We’ll have more details on the content of this update (including the exact release date) in the coming weeks.”
A new video was also released where the developers at Arkane talk about the importance of player freedom and improvisation in Dishonored 2. The game was designed to be flexible so that players could play the way that suits them best, whether that means playing the whole game stealthily or creating chaos and killing everyone in their path.
