Dishonored 3: everything we know so far

The Dishonored series has always been a critical darling, and it has cultivated a small, but passionate fan base. The original game got some DLC, a sequel in Dishonored 2, and one last entry called Death of the Outsider in 2017, but since then the franchise has remained dormant. The studio’s latest game, Deathloop, shares some DNA with Dishonored, but is certainly its own beast. However, since the success of that new IP far exceeded anything Dishonored had achieved, many fans felt we’d never return to Dunwall to see the conclusion of the story. That sentiment only got more traction after Arkane Austin was shut down in 2024, but it was actually Arkane Lyon that made the Dishonoredgames, so hope isn’t quite dead yet. Thanks to the recent leak of some court documents related to the Activision purchase by Xbox, which owns Dishonored publisher Bethesda, new hope has appeared for the existence of Dishonored 3.

According to the leaked documents, which we should still take with skepticism until an official public statement is made, Dishonored 3 is currently planned for a “FY24E” release. FY24E is shorthand for Fiscal Year 2024, which runs between April 2024 and March 2025. Considering how close we are to the end of that planned time frame with no announcement, we assume this timeline has been pushed back at least a year.

Platforms

Again, this is just speculation until the game is officially confirmed, but considering that Xbox owns publisher Bethesda, Dishonored 3 is almost certainly going to be an Xbox console exclusive with a PC port. However, it may only be a timed console exclusive as more Xbox games are coming to PS5. It should also be available as a day one Game Pass title, as all Xbox first-party titles are.

Trailers

As mentioned, Dishonored 3 isn’t even meant to be known about publicly yet, so no marketing exists for the game. All we have is the name.

Without going too far into speculation land, it should be safe to assume that Dishonored 3 will at least continue on as an immersive sim game where you’re able to use various weapons, powers, and tactics to navigate and approach different objectives in large sandbox levels. Beyond that, anything is on the table until we see the game in any form.

Preorder

Hold your horses, folks. Dishonored 3 is a long way off since it isn’t even announced yet. Once it is announced, and then is given preorder details, we will keep you updated.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: everything we know so far
Soldiers fight in a shopping plaza in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Now that the new Modern Warfare trilogy is complete, it's time to brush up on all Call of Duty games in order before the Black Ops series resurfaces. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will pick up where Cold War left off and will be the most ambitious entry in the series yet, as it aims to take the spot as the best Call of Duty game yet. The initial teases were as cryptic as the game's themes of truth, lies, and subterfuge. That hasn't stopped us from digging through all the footage and documents to shed some light on one of our most anticipated upcoming games. There are a lot of exciting changes on the way, so we'll make sure you have all the necessary intel on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 before release.
Release date

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will launch on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Deadlock: everything we know so far
The Deadlock main menu.

It's no secret that Valve has slowed down considerably in terms of developing new titles. After releasing some of the best games of all time with the likes of Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life, we haven't seen much in the way of software from the team since Half-Life: Alyx. After tons of rumors, leaks, and hard evidence have appeared around a new game called Deadlock, Valve has finally publicly confirmed the game is real. What remains to be seen is if Valve can keep up its streak and make one of the best PC games with this new multiplayer shooter. If you don't have Deadlock on your list of most anticipated upcoming PC games, here are all the reasons why it should be.
Release date speculation

This is almost impossible to guess, but based on the reports of people currently playing Deadlock via a special invitation event, it could be a shadow drop within the next few months or still need another year of beta testing. Based on that, along with the leaked footage we've seen, we'd say it is still at least six months or so away since there is still a lot of temporary art and assets present.
Platforms
Deadlock will certainly be on PC, but consoles are up in the air. It would make sense for a multiplayer shooter like Deadlock to be a cross-platform game, but some Valve games like Counter-Strike 2 have stuck to PC only. We'll have to wait for more details to answer this one.

Kingdom Hearts 4: everything we know so far

Fans of the Kingdom Hearts titles are used to waiting extremely long times between mainline releases.

After Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PlayStation 2, the series veered into spinoff territory, with no proper sequel for the entire PS3 generation. Finally, in 2019, we got the long-awaited conclusion to what we would learn was the Dark Seeker Saga. However, in typical Kingdom Hearts fashion, the end of the saga was by no means the end of the story for Sora, Riku, Kairi, and all their Disney and Final Fantasy friends. A secret ending, boss, and DLC all pointed toward a new era on the horizon. The only question was how long it would take until we saw what it would be.
