Dishonored 3: Is a Return Possible? Arkane Studios Founder Weighs In
The possibility of a *Dishonored 3* has been a long-standing question for fans of the beloved stealth action series. Now, Arkane Studios’ founder Raphaël Colantonio has addressed the rumors, offering a glimmer of hope while tempering expectations.
Colantonio stated he isn’t completely opposed to revisiting the *Dishonored* universe. However, he clarified that a new game isn’t currently in development and is unlikely to happen in the near future. This leaves fans in a state of cautious optimism.
# Not a Complete No, But Don’t Hold Your Breath
While no active work is being done on *Dishonored 3*, Colantonio suggested he would be open to the idea if the right circumstances aligned. This indicates the series isn’t necessarily dead, but a sequel shouldn’t be anticipated anytime soon. Despite the success of *Dishonored 2*, Arkane has focused on exploring new projects.
# Arkane’s Current Priorities and the Future of Dishonored
The potential for *Dishonored 3* is on hold as Arkane has shifted towards different game genres in recent years. Colantonio emphasized that returning to the *Dishonored* universe isn’t a priority within the studio’s current plans. If a new game were to emerge, it would likely be a long-term project driven by fresh ideas.
These statements don’t extinguish all hope for *Dishonored* fans. Colantonio’s openness to the project suggests that the series could be revisited in the future if conditions change. While no timeframe is given, fans will continue to eagerly await any news regarding a potential return to the world of Dunwall and Karnaca.
Currently, Arkane Studios is focused on *Redfall* and other unannounced projects. However, a beloved franchise like *Dishonored* is unlikely to be entirely forgotten. Colantonio’s words indicate a degree of flexibility in the studio’s creative decisions, suggesting the door for *Dishonored 3* remains slightly ajar.
