Dishonored and Prey’s director says ‘I could see myself working on Dishonored 3 right now’ but the chances of that happening is in the realms of ‘science fiction’

The original Dishonored is highly regarded by gamers, and Dishonored 2 is considered one of the best games ever made. However, a third installment has not been developed due to Dishonored 2's sales not meeting Bethesda's expectations. Arkane Lyon is currently working on a new title related to the Blade franchise, while Arkane Austin faced closure after Redfall's poor performance. Raphaël Colantonio, a key figure in the Dishonored series, initially preferred to explore new concepts but has become more open to the idea of Dishonored 3 after thirteen years. He mentioned that discussions about the game are still hypothetical and that multiple concepts for Dishonored 3 exist, although there are no concrete plans. After leaving Arkane, Colantonio founded WolfEye Studio and is developing an unnamed first-person action RPG that aims to maintain the immersive qualities of his previous work.

Relic Entertainment is developing a new real-time strategy game titled Earth vs Mars under its Relic Labs label, moving away from its larger franchises like Company of Heroes and Dawn of War. The game features a narrative where Martians invade Earth using flying saucers and hover-tanks, and introduces a technology called "Splice-O-Tron" that merges volunteers with animals to create supersoldiers. Notable units include the "cheetah-fly" and "squirrel-cow infantry." The studio has undergone significant changes, including layoffs of over 150 employees and a transition in ownership to Emona Capital LLC in March 2024.
