Set within the grim, plague-ridden streets of Dunwall, this definitive collection brings the acclaimed experience to next-generation hardware, offering a polished and expanded journey through one of gaming's most atmospheric worlds.
A Tale of Revenge and Conspiracy
The story follows Corvo Attano, the Royal Protector to Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. Upon returning to Dunwall from a mission to find aid against a deadly rat plague, Corvo’s life is shattered when assassins led by the mysterious Daud strike. The Queen is murdered, her daughter Emily is kidnapped, and Corvo is framed for the regicide.
After enduring months of imprisonment under a rising tyrannic government, Corvo escapes to join the resistance. Driven by a need for vengeance and a mission to find the young heir, players must navigate a web of political corruption and supernatural threats to restore justice to the throne.
