In Dishonored 2, each playthrough is unique. With 2 different sets of skills, a rich and varied world, and a dizzying variety of level designs that affect your approach to each different location, developer Arkane has decided to double down on the original's play-your-way concept. Whether you take the stealthy or bloody route, known as Low or High Chaos, each of your playthroughs adds to the multiple numbers of stories that may be told in this beautifully twisted world.

Dishonored 2 is a 2016 action-adventure video game published by Bethesda Softworks and developed by Arkane Studios. It's the sequel to Dishonored, which came out in 2012, after the witch, Delilah Copperspoon, deposes Empress Emily Kaldwin.

Dishonored 2 features stealth features. After playing as Empress Emily Kaldwin in the prologue, you can choose between playing as Emily or Corvo Attano, the protagonist from the first game. You have the option of playing stealthily or not, and you can complete the game without killing a person.

As they seek to regain the throne, you either play as Emily or her Royal Protector and father, Corvo Attano. Emily and Corvo both have their own set of supernatural skills, though you can choose to ignore them entirely and play with no superpowers.

Emily has her own set of skills, while Corvo's skills from the previous game have been enhanced and expanded. The game has various upgrade routes for its capabilities, but it also has a mode where you can play without any supernatural abilities. There is a lethal and non-lethal upgrading routes for these abilities.

Alternative assassination strategies, non-lethal approaches, and routes to explore the main mission are unlocked through side missions. Each character has upgradable weapons such as a pistol, crossbow, blade, grenades, and mines. Mana elixirs replenish mana, whereas health elixirs and food consumables regenerate health.

Several gameplay features from the first Dishonored are retained in Dishonored 2. By combining realistic first-person action, assassination, stealth, mobility, and the game's combat system, you may create your own gameplay.

Dishonored 2 follows the same narrative format as its predecessor, in which you must complete a series of tasks while using a combination of powers and weapons. There are a variety of ways to finish objectives, ranging from non-lethal stealth to intentional violent fighting, thanks to the game's nonlinear design.

In Dishonored 2, every level has its own theme, and you can seek safety on the Dreadful Wale, a ship where you are able to recover and enhance their equipment in between levels.

Upgrades can be acquired in black market shops placed across the levels, and blueprints spread about the world can be used to access new upgrades. These enhancements can be purchased using coins, which can be collected throughout the game or obtained through other collectibles such as stealing paintings.

Enemy detection is based on line-of-sight, thus you can hide under cover or in high areas out of the enemies' cones of vision. Although darkness can help you hide, it is only useful at a distance. If you've been spotted, enemy alert meters and musical cues will alert you.

You may choke or slit enemies' throats to avoid detection. It is possible to carry and hide bodies. Alarms can be turned off to prevent enemies from becoming aware of your presence.

Noise, such as that generated by smashed bottles or striking your sword against a wall, can lead enemies to investigate; this can be used to draw guards into traps or interrupt their patrol route.
