Dishonored 2 brings back magic and stealth combat on November 11 (pictures)

Dishonored 2 invites you to take a trip South of Dunwall and visit the beautiful city of Karnaca, the Jewel of the South. Visually inspired by cities in Greece, Spain and Italy, it's a big change from the bleak cityscape of the first game.

It's not the only change, either. Young Princess Emily Kaldwin is all grown up and after being deposed as Empress has followed the path of her old protector Corvo Attano and become a mystical force to be reckoned with.

Kirin Jindosh is an inventor, creator of the Clockwork Soliders and, as the painting behind him hints, a student of brilliant and dangerous Anton Sokolov from the first game.

Don't let the bright sun fool you: Karnaca has its own problems, including what looks like a rebellion against its ruler, if the executions we saw in 2015's E3 trailer are anything to go by.

The city may not have the rat issues that Dunwall was dealing with in the first game, but it does have its own pest problem -- including the Bloodfly that likes to nest in corpses. Perfect.

In Dishonored 2 you can play as either Emily or Corvo and the old dog has some new tricks, with all of his arcane abilities from Dishonored tweaked a little for the sequel.

If you haven't played the original game or feel like a refresher, the Definitive Edition has been remastered and includes all the DLC from the first game.

It might keep you busy while we wait for the second game to arrive on Novmeber 11, 2016.
