With E3 almost upon us, trailers created for that odious event are starting to creep in early, lest they be lost in the kerfuffle. The first gameplay trailer for Arkane's first-person emergent 'em up Dishonored arrived last night, and it's oh so lovely.

For an E3 trailer, there's a surprising amount of gameplay, though it's naturally cut up into teensy little snippets. Still, it certainly sets the scene on Dishonored's filthy word of decadence, plague and splendid mechanical technology. It's one of the games I'm most looking forward to this year, though I'm clearly failing in my plan to avoid learning too much about it beforehand.

Dishonored is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 9, published by Bethesda Softworks. While we'll undoubtedly see more of it at E3, for now, check out our recent preview.
