Bethesda: Dishonored is "a New Franchise"

Bethesda's Pete Hines has told Destructoid that Dishonored's higher-than-expected sales mean that it's being considered a new franchise by the publisher.

Dishonored has performed very well, Hines says, especially against stiff competition from established game brands this year. "I can tell you that Dishonored is far exceeding our sales expectations," he says.

"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. So, we’re very pleased and appreciate all the fans that have supported Dishonored and Arkane. We clearly have a new franchise."

Hurrah for that. Most of us loved Dishonored here at IGN, including our reviewer, so we'd be delighted to see more of it. Would you?
