Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex devs join forces on Bethesda's Dishonored

Bethesda has announced Dishonored, a new first-person action title crafted by Might & Magic developer Arkane Studios with input from veterans of Deus Ex and Half-Life 2. It's down for a 2012 release on Xbox 360 and (cough) the other two. You know who I'm talking about.

Here's a blurb, courtesy of Game Informer. "It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone. It's a game about infiltration where you can set up traps and slaughter the entire garrison of an aristocrat's mansion rather than sneak in.

"It's a game about brutal violence where you can slip in and out of a fortified barracks with nobody ever knowing you were there. It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees."

Deus Ex developer Harvey Smith is co-creative director, while Victor Antonov, designer of Half-Life 2's City 17, is helping to design Dishonored's world. More as we get it.
