Is "Dishonored 2" release date coming sooner than expected?

Rumor has it that its 2016 launch could be moved to 2017 to avoid some stiff competition. But, latest reports are claiming that pre-orders for the new title are now available. With this new development, could Bethesda finally skipped further delays and just stick with its original Spring 2016 release?

"Retailer Target is currently offering the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Dishonored 2 for only $20.00," Geek Snack reported.


"While this is definitely a pricing mistake on the retailer's part, Target has honored similar pre-orders before so this is a really good deal for all fans of the series."

Not much has been said about the new game, but Geek Snack further detailed about the two playable characters in the sequel.

"The game will star Corvo Attano once again as he travels with the Empress Emily Kaldwin to the city of Karnaca after an usurper has stolen the throne," the site continued.

"Not counting the two characters' unique special abilities, we don't know much about other gameplay features, other than the fact that the Dishonored 2 campaign will employ the same style of its predecessor, with players having to complete a series of missions while using powers and gadgets in creative ways."

Other "Dishonored 2" release date rumors are hinting that Bethesda could just be doing more work into the new title and could just be planning for a flexible 2016 launch instead. Moving it to an earlier or later Spring 2016 release date could give them a marketing leverage since a lot of new releases are scheduled on the same timeframe.
