Dishonored to get Game of the Year Edition

Bundle details and release date unconfirmed; Australian version listed as "modified".

173 Comments

Dishonored appears set to receive a Game of the Year Edition, according to a listing by rating body, the Australian Classification Board.

No Caption Provided

The GOTY version will presumably bundle the original stealth/action game with all previously released downloadable content: Dunwall City Trials and its 10 challenge maps; The Knife of Dunwall, which allowed players to take on the role of assassin Duad; upcoming expansion The Brigmore Witches, which is scheduled to release in mid August; and the Void Walker’s Arsenal, a collection of retailer pre-order bonuses.

No release date was confirmed in the report, though while Dishonored was rated as "original", the Australian Game of the Year version is currently marked as "modified", often denoting changes or edits made specifically for the region. The bundle has been rated MA15+ for moderate impact themes, language and sex, and strong impact violence. A spokesperson for Bethesda, the game's publisher, was unavailable to comment as to what, if any, changes have been made to the local version of the game.

In November last year, Bethesda confirmed that sales for the game were "far exceeding" expectations, making future games in the franchise likely.

@thorn3000 Whoever is deciding this shit is a fascist asshole and deserves to die for his crimes.

And yes, I'm dead serious.

@wgerardi @B-boy I don't think either of these games were good enough for GOTY

Good games, yes.

Knife of Dunwall was a pretty legit piece of DLC, looking forward to Brigmore Witches. I guess getting a GOTY edition at this point means that Dishonored won't be getting any more major DLC, so hopefully that means a sequel is in the works. I don't often advocate sequels but Dishonored has a pretty cool world that I'd love to see more of, and I'd also like to see the mechanics expanded even further.

A very well made game. Which deserves to get a sequel.

Maybe people was able to complete this game in 10-15 hrs, but it took more than 30+ hrs to complete. Which made this game worth it for me. I am sure the next Dishonored will come in 2015.

@blaze_adeel @Kyere Wasn't being serious. I'm pretty aware how GotY sets work. Publishers and developers throw GotY on titles that aren't so they sell (and it works for the most part). They are also bundled editions that gather expansion packs and add-on DLCs into one box set. Usually for a lower price than buying said items separately.

I'm pretty well-versed in how a box-set works. I was joking. Thanks for pointing out how intelligent and well-versed you are in such matters though. You have made all our lives all the richer with your commentary.

@Moegitto "Bethesda confirmed that sales for the game were 'far exceeding' expectations", I think it has all the support it needs. I'm guessing other great games are in more need of appreciation.

People don't give it much credit. This was the kind of stealth game that made the genre popular in the first place (i.e. Thief).

@Andy Bates They did say a sequel is more than likely gonna happen at some point. Probably wont see it to 2015, or 2016 though depending on how long it take.

@Adam Murphy Sorry man, Dishonored is an awesome game. Just because it was somewhat of a sleeper that flew under the radar of many doesn't make it any less than stellar.

@Arctic_Grillz @rawkstar007 Well if the shoe fits, then force away. Also: Uncharted had better combat? LOL! The fighting system in Dishonored was fantastic. Get over it.

@Ian Vance Would you rather pay more money by getting the core game and downloading the DLCs individually? It's a good deal. This is not an example of blatant "milking,"
