The trailer opens with a grizzled man in a jail cell, with who seems to be some sort of villain divulging a bit of information regarding our grizzled man’s wrongful imprisonment. The probable villain then magics up the grizzled man’s hand, and off goes the plot.

So, it would seem we have some sort of mission-based, Assassin’s Creed-BioShock mashup. Bethesda could certainly do worse. Hilariously, the tagline Bethesda seems to be running with for Dishonored is “Revenge solves everything.”
