Bethesda has revealed that Arkane Studio’s stealth-action title is exceeding the company’s internal sales expectations, which has led to talk of a possible sequel.

“We clearly have a new franchise,” Bethesda’s PR boss Pete Hines told Destructoid. “I can tell you that Dishonored is far exceeding our sales expectations, which is especially cool considering it’s a new IP facing a host of well-established franchises this quarter.”


“We did terrific numbers again this past weekend, both in stores and on Steam, where Dishonored was listed as the #1 selling title over the holiday weekend. And Dishonored has really sold well overseas,” he added. “So, we’re very pleased and appreciate all the fans that have supported Dishonored and Arkane. We clearly have a new franchise.”

Yesterday the publisher announced that Dishonored‘s Dunwall City Trials DLC would be releasing December 11 on all platforms.
