Raphaël Colantonio, co-creative director of Dishonored, streamed a session revisiting the game's level, Lady Boyle's Last Party, with team members including Harvey Smith, Stevan Hird, and Anthony Huso. During the session, Smith defended the inclusion of loading screens, arguing they provide a necessary transition and enhance world-building. Colantonio reflected on the challenges of revisiting the game after 14 years. The stream revealed a discarded plot point where Daud was meant to sever Corvo's hand, which would have added depth to the narrative. This concept later influenced Dishonored 2. The team has four more levels to explore in their playthrough, with fans hoping for discussions on the Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches expansions.
