A New City and Story
Dishonored 2 functions as a direct sequel to the first game, taking place 15 years later. Emily Kaldwin assumed the throne as Empress of Dunwall, and the city has prospered under her reign. The second game picks up when an otherworldly power dethrones Emily and labels her an outlaw to society. Now it’s up to Corvo or Emily to prove the truth, and reclaim the throne.
Dishonored 2 is taking things out of Dunwall and into an entirely new setting, the coastal city of Karnaca, capital of Serkonos. This location promises to be quite a bit different form Dunwall, as it isn’t facing quite the same plague problem the original city was. It’s a wealthy coastal city focused on extracting silver from the local mines, while huge wind turbines power it. Two factions wage war within the city for control: the Howlers and the Overseers.
