A recent interview with VG247 has revealed new details for Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches.
As we know, the events follow directly after The Knife of Dunwall and conclude Daud’s narrative arc. In it, Daud will attempt to track down and slay the witche’s coven leader, Delilah.
There will be new environments in The Brigmore Witches, one of which is set beyond Dunwall’s borders.
As Arkane Designer, Ricardo Bare explains…
We have two new areas and one is a district called Draper’s Ward. It’s a little bit like the distillery district from the original game except it’s probably a little bit bigger. It’s an urban street area that is controlled by two gangs that are at war with each other, and so Daud has to navigate this. There’s a dock area, a canal, a street area, a textile mill and a hidden area that’s pretty fun.
As for going beyond Dunwall’s borders, this is something Arkane have never tried before…
We’re taking players to Brigmore Manor, and it’s an old, rotting estate that is a day or two up-river from the city. The team is really excited about this environment because it’s beautiful and it’s different, this old rotting estate on the riverside that’s half-dunked in a swamp, and you get to explore this abandoned, broken-down manor while battling Delilah.
Daud will also have new abilities. One move allows him to cast enemies hurtling towards lethal drops, then hurl them into the sky using telekinesis. Nice!
Players won’t just be fighting Delilah but all of her followers. They share in hew power and offer great speed and ability to summon Blood Brier appendages from the ground that ensnare Daud if he gets too close. The need for stealth may be greater than ever before.
If that’s not enough for you, the achievement and trophy list has also leaked out online. The full list of 10 is below, but obviously avoid if you don’t want any spoilers…
