I wonder if they'll give Corvo a voice. Or take Emily's voice this time around.
Hoping for no silent protagonist this time.

Probably each character has their own side or perspective of the story. Like you can see an event from afar as one character, but the other character is actually in that event. Just my two cents.

I'm hoping for a badass rival assassin like Daud, except more prominent throughout the story this time.
Her character design is really nice.

I'm so pumped right now, first installment was one the best games last gen. And one of the feww games I have played through many times to play it differently, to go no kill play through to full slaughtering play through.

The character design of her and Corvo in the first game made we wish that we had a 3rd person option.

Not a big fan of Emily so far. I'm not a big fan of her look. I wish developers would just stick with one character in a game and just commit to them. I'm not a fan of multiple storylines most of the time.
All different developers, plus Dishonored 2 could well be Summer/Fall 2016.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
the Post-show is talking about the setting and Emily on the stream. Some worldbuilding stuff and Emily-specific info.
Emily doesn't get blink, but has far-reach (the tentacle grab), has different animations/movement, etc...
They're also talking about how the level design has to accommodate both Emily and Corvo's varied power sets and focuses.
No co-op, single player gives more choice/consequence. Make a choice at the beginning between characters, and can't switch during a playthrough (reportedly for story-associated reasons). Also, Corvo and Emily get different 'takes' on the story based on their varying circumstances/personalities.

You choose your character at the start of the game, no switching. I'm definitely going to be playing through this like ten times.

Will this one feature 3rd person view?

Spring 2016, in case anyone wanted explicit confirmation.
Sure teams are different, but still very promising titles loaded into rather short timeline. We will be hearing a lot about Zenimax/Bethesda :b

Given the true end of Dishonored 1, does that mean this game is effectively retconning it?

What was the "true end"? Because there were
Three endings with no hints to which was canon.

Hoh... so the Queen herself gets down and dirty to do stuff. That's cool.
Honestly do not expect to see Emily as a protagonist... kind of surprising.

I'm so excited for this game! I love the idea of two protagonists with different powers, makes for a lot variety in gameplay. And I also love that we get to play as Emily! I love the world and the lore of these games, plus the art style is very unique and fits the game so well. I think I'm more excited for this than Fallout 4, haha. Definitely picking up both this and Dishonored Definitive edition day one.

Oh nice!!!
Dishonored was great, but yeah I still saw improvements like any other title.

Playable demo or gameplay video at E3? Or Gamescom?
The trailer description and the official twitter account are both saying Spring 2016.

wow spring 2016?
Sooner than I expected.
Choosable Protagonists will definitely increase the replayability, and play as Emily is really cool.
I just hope they make a new game plus, where you maintain all your powers. Not been able to do that, killed any desire to replay the first one.

Corvo's story was done by the end of the first Dishonored. It's inevitable that future installments would focus on Emily.

So did Corvo age backwards or what? Assuming that was him at the end of the trailer, he looked extremely young.

That was the Outsider.

So excited.
First playthrough as Emily and second as Old Man Corvo kill-less run.

Ah okay that makes more sense now. Was confusing since the narrative during that time made it seem like it was Corvo.
Surprised we'll be playing as Corvo again. He was 39 during the first game.
That's great if confirmed! Although honestly I have a few doubts they will release both this and Doom 4 in the same time frame....also the fact they only had a CG trailer to show makes me think it will end up being a fall 2016 title, which is still fine to me, I'm really happy they announced it and it's coming relatively soon.

they didn't even announce a year or anything. Last rumor was a no show of the game at E3. My bet is either fall 2016 or spring 2017. The game must be still very early
I was pleasantly surprised by Dishonored and it quickly became one of my favourite games of the year, so to say I am excited for Dishonored 2 would be an understatement, though i must say i was disappointed with the reveal. It was all CGI - i am personally exhausted of CGI reveals - and no mention of date, or even quarter. I much prefer to see a game and have it's release within 6 months - like the Fallout 4 reveal.
Also, I hope Dishonored Definitive Edition is not just Dishonored running at 1080p on the PS4 and Xbox one.

Infinitely more exciting than Fallout 4. Can't wait.
