Guide: Discover the Chronological Order for Dishonored Games
The Dishonored series, with titles like Dishonored: Death of the Outsider and The Brigmore Witches, can be confusing. This guide clarifies the optimal playing order.
Release Order vs. Chronological Order:
Unlike some game franchises, the Dishonored timeline is straightforward. The release order mirrors the chronological order of events.
Playing Order:
- Dishonored (2012)
- The Knife of Dunwall (Dishonored DLC) (2013)
- The Brigmore Witches (Dishonored DLC) (2013)
- Dishonored II (2016)
- Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (2017)
Game World Overview:
Dishonored unfolds in a steampunk world ruled by emperors and empresses, where uneasy peace prevails. Magic, linked to The Void and bestowed by The Outsider, exists but isn't ubiquitous. Whale oil, a byproduct of supernatural whales, fuels much of the technology, a testament to the world's inventor, Anton Sokolov. The player assumes the role of Corvo Attano.
Chronological Breakdown & Story Summaries (Mild Spoilers):
-
1837 – Dishonored: Empress Jessamine Kaldwin's assassination frames Corvo Attano. He escapes, aided by The Outsider, to rescue Emily, clear his name, and expose the true assassins amidst a city-wide plague.
-
1837 – The Knife of Dunwall: Players control Daud, Jessamine's assassin, as he undertakes a quest directed by The Outsider, involving the Brigmore Witches, including Delilah Copperspoon.
-
1837 – The Brigmore Witches: Daud's quest continues, thwarting Delilah's attempt to possess Emily.
-
1852 – Dishonored II: Emily, now empress, faces a new threat: Delilah Copperspoon, claiming to be the rightful heir. Players control either Corvo or Emily, with the other petrified. The game unfolds in Karnaca.
-
1852 – Dishonored: Death of the Outsider: Billie Lurk, Daud's former associate, rescues him from the Eyeless cult and investigates their activities.
Playing Order Recommendations:
While Dishonored II is playable without prior experience, playing the first game enhances understanding of The Outsider and his influence. The DLC is less crucial for Dishonored II, but highly recommended before Death of the Outsider to appreciate Billie Lurk's connection to Daud. The Dishonored Definitive Edition bundles the DLC.
Ease of Play:
Starting with Dishonored provides a foundation for understanding the powers granted by The Outsider and their limitations, making it the easiest starting point.
Main Characters (Spoilers):
- Corvo Attano: Empress Jessamine's protector, lover, and Emily's father.
- Emily Kaldwin: Corvo and Jessamine's daughter, a capable fighter and diplomat in Dishonored II.
- The Outsider: A mysterious entity granting supernatural powers.
- Daud: Leader of assassins, Jessamine's killer, later remorseful.
- Billie Lurk/Meagan Foster: Daud's apprentice, protagonist of Death of the Outsider.
