Dishonored 2 Podcast Interview

VICE Gaming has published a a podcast interview with Arkane Studios’ Harvey Smith that focuses mostly on Dishonored 2, the company’s upcoming sequel to the 2012 stealth/action game with RPG elements.

During the interview, Smith touches on some of the process of making the game and how the developers come up with the central vision through collaboration, the feedback they received both concerning gameplay and the story, how the idea of having Emily as one of the protagonists came to be, the structure of the setting’s Empire, the desire of the developers to avoid a more tropical locale, and more.

If you’re interested in the game, there are worse things to listen to, I suppose.
