Bethesda announced via its blog that first-person stealth action adventure video game Dishonored would be receiving its first piece of downloadable content called Dunwall City Trials in December.
"Finish Dishonored, already? Completed a non-lethal playthrough, too? Congrats on being a true supernatural assassin," Bethesda wrote on its blog. "We recommend you continue honing your skills in preparation for the game's upcoming game add-on content, Dunwall City Trials."
Dunwall City Trials will release on the same day for the PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360. Here are the details Bethesda provided on its web blog:
"Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials, being released in December for $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points), will include 10 challenge maps that will test and track your combat, stealth and mobility skills. Ten distinct trials await challengers - including an arena battle against waves of enemy AI, a gravity-defying run of drop assassinations, and a race against the clock. Dunwall City Trials also features a whole new set of achievements and trophies as well as a global online leaderboard that will establish the greatest assassins for each challenge.
The second and third add-ons for Dishonored will be coming in 2013 and will each feature story-driven campaigns. Pricing on these two packs will be revealed closer to launch.
Daud, the leader of a group of supernatural assassins known as 'The Whalers', will be the focus of the second add-on pack, scheduled for release in early Spring 2013. Make your way through new Dunwall locales and discover Daud's own set of weapons, powers and gadgets in this story-driven campaign. How you play and the choices you make will impact the final outcome...
Additional story details on the third add-on pack will be revealed closer to its launch next year."
Dishonored was released worldwide in October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game is set in the fictional industrial city of Dunwall, and features an impressive voice cast including Susan Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Carrie Fisher, Billy Lush, Lena Headey and Chloë Grace Moretz.
