Cómo jugar los juegos deshonorados en orden

Before we go any further, it's helpful to know a little more about this game's world. Here, then, is a summary of Dishonored 's setting.

The Dishonored games take place in a Steampunk-style world. It's ruled by emperors and empresses, and, at best, nations have an uneasy peace. Magic exists, but it's not as prevalent as in your average Dungeons and Dragons universe. It's tied to The Void, a mysterious parallel dimension whose current inhabitant is The Outsider. He can bestow supernatural abilities on others, and his motivations for doing so are unclear.

Many of the realm's inventions are fuelled by whale oil, and devised by a genius by the name of Anton Sokolov. The world's use of electricity relies heavily on whale oil, which is why whaling is such a massive trade in this world. Whales are supernatural creatures, so their “oil” is even more potent than it is in our world.

As Corvo Attano, you step into this strange world.

Dishonored Timeline in Chronological Order

So, just where does each Dishonored game and DLC fit on the games' timeline and what happens? Here's an explanation, alongside a summary of each game, with a little help from the Dishonored Wiki. However, be warned, there'll be some mild spoilers here.

1837 – Dishonored : In the city of Dunwall, Empress Jessamine Kaldwin is assassinated. Corvo Attano, her bodyguard, is blamed for her assassination and falsely imprisoned. Jugado por ti, escapa con la ayuda del extraño y busca rescatar a la hija de Jessamine, Emily, aclara su nombre y lleva a los verdaderos asesinos ante la justicia. The city is also in the middle of a plague, apparently carried by rats.

1837 – Dishonored DLC The Knife of Dunwall : You play Daud, the assassin who killed the empress. El extraño lo convoca y se busca para rastrear las brujas de Brigmore, que incluye a Delilah Copperspoon, uno de los antiguos amigos de la Emperatriz Jessamine.

1837 - Dishonored DLC The Witches of Brigmore : Daud's Quest continúa, descubriendo que Delilah intenta poseer sobrenaturalmente a la hija de Jessamine, Emily, que Daud debe frustrar.

1852 – Dishonored 2 : Emily, now grown up, is the current empress, with Corvo serving as her bodyguard. The plague is gone but a serial killer is on the loose, and some suspect it's actually Corvo, dispatching Emily's enemies. One difference between this and Dishonored is that you don't have to use supernatural powers at all.

Delilah Copperspoon arrives, claiming to be the late empress's sister and, hence, the rightful heir to the throne. You play either Corvo or Emily, and the other is turned to stone. As that character, you fleet to the city of Karnaca and attempt to combat her plot.

1852 – Dishonored: Death of the Outsider : You're Billie Lurk, one of Daud's former followers. She rescues Daud from a cult known as the Eyeless, and proceeds to investigate their activities.
