Arkane Studios has teased its next project, saying it'll have similar features to Dishonored and may feature a multiplayer component.
Speaking to RPS, Arkane's co-director Raphael Colantonio wouldn't confirm whether or not the studio would be going straight into work on Dishonored 2, but did confirm a number of gameplay aspects would be similar.
"I can’t say exactly what we’re working on yet, but I can say that it’s definitely going to be a similar type of game," he said. "Choices, multiple objectives, branching paths, and things like that. Those are our core values and they will stay that way.”

The original Dishonored was something of a rarity these days; when it released last year it did so as a purely single player title without any multiplayer features. Whether or not the studio's next title will do the same though is unclear.
"We might be interested by multiplayer. And this would not necessarily be the traditional multiplayer approach. But primarily, we are storytellers. That’s the part we like," he explained.
"So as long as multiplayer does not go against that – which is unfortunately often the case with multiplayer because you have to remove any story bits because they go at odds with the strict values of multiplayer – [we're interested].
"But yes, generally we’re more into single-player. Someone playing at their own pace, which is another thing that goes against multiplayer values. In multiplayer, there’s a group, so everyone has to worry about going forward or being shot at. But we’re also keeping an eye out for ways to do multiplayer the right way."
So what do you think? Do you reckon that Colantonio is on about Dishonored 2 and what would you like to see in a sequel? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
