Bethesda Shows Off Dishonored Pre-Order Items

Bethesda Shows Off Dishonored Pre-Order Items

See what you're getting for your (early) money!

Written by osubluejacket on 27 July 12 at 12:46

New IPs are a rare commodity this close to the end of a console cycle and, with that, the hype that's building around Arkane Studios' upcoming Dishonored is rather singular.

Today, along with their publisher, Bethesda, the team is showing off a bit more detail on some of their previously-covered pre-order bonuses.

In the UK the Shadow Rat Pack will be available from Tesco (gamers in the US can get it from Best Buy):

* DELICATE TOUCH: Breaking Glass noise reduction
* VOYEUR: Key-hole peeping magnification
* DEEP BREATHER: Underwater breathing capacity bonus
* GOLDEN RAT STATUE: Unlocks one additional slot for bone charm bonuses (start with an extra slot earlier on)
* UNHIDDEN BOOK: "Filed Notes: The Royal Spy"
* 500 BONUS COINS



Shop.to.net (and Amazon in the US) will be featuring the Backstreet Butcher Pack:

* FENCER: sword vs. sword advantage bonus
* FIRE WATER: increased whiskey bottle explosions
* BLAST RESISTANT: reduced explosion damage taken
* WOLFHOUND IN-GAME STATUE: unlocks one additional slot for bone charm bonuses (start with an extra slot earlier on)
* UNHIDDEN BOOK: "Early Life and Times: Slackjaw"
* 500 BONUS COINS



The UK's version of Amazon.com (and Walmart in the States) will be receiving the Acrobatic Killer Pack:

* RAVEN: Health bonus for drop-down assassination
* QUICK DODGE: Bolt / arrow dodging bonus
* RIVER AFFINITY: Increased swimming speed
* HAGFISH IN-GAME STATUE: Unlocks one additional slot for bone charm bonuses (start with an extra slot earlier on)
* UNHIDDEN BOOK: "Rumours and Sightings: Daud"
* 500 BONUS COINS



Finally, GAME and GameStation (and GameStop in the US) will be receiving a Special Edition which will contain a set of Dishonored branded 72 tarot cards with instructions to play the "Game of Nancy" and the Arcane Assassin Pack which features:

* VOID CHANNEL: Powers duration and damage bonus
* WHITE RAT FRIEND: White rats will not be hostile
* GUTTER FEAST: White rat consumption for mana
* WHALE IN-GAME STATUE: Unlocks one additional slot for bone charm bonuses (start with an extra slot earlier on)
* UNHIDDEN BOOK: "Filed Notes: The Journal of Granny Rags"
* 500 BONUS COINS



I know I've already plunked down my pre-order for Dishonored. Where do you plan to make yours?

Dishonored is set for an October 9th release in the US, an October 11th release in Australia, and an October 12th release in the UK.

I've already ordered mine at GameStop. I'll just have to upgrade it to the special/collectors edition when it becomes available there.

Please, let this be good. In my own opinion Bethesda havn't made a bad game. I don't care about the bugs etc, with games the size of Skyrim, it's bound to happen. People shouldn't moan about it as they try their best to solve it. I for one can't wait to try this out.

The "Special Edition" mentioned in the article is the exact same one that GameStop has already announced. It's basically the game, the Tarot cards, and the Arcane Assassin Pack.

If a more (for lack of a better term) substantial "Special Edition" is announced, we'll be sure to let the community know!

Game is one of those i'd never know about without TA... This is starting to look really good but I still have a ton in my backlog and it can wait since I already have two collectors editions i'm going to be buying in the fall/winter.

I preordered this from Best Buy a month ago and their whole deal at the time was a free USB Whale Oil Lamp as well as a $20 coupon for your next game purchase. I don't see this mentioned anywhere. Is the USB lamp no longer on the table? If not, I will cancel my order and wait 2 months until this game is $30.

Best Buy (by all accounts) is still offering the lamp (while supplies last). Which is why I pre-ordered there.

...i love lamp...

Does anyone know there is multiplayer? If not I will probably not pre-order this. But if there is I will pre-order it from Gamestop. But I wish the Amazon pre-order bonuses were better because I still have my $20 coupon from pre-ordering Gears of War 3 from Amazon which expires on October 31...

EDIT: Figured out Dishonored does not have multiplayer and will no longer be a day one buy.cry And I guess I'll just use my $20 coupon on Guild Wars 2.clap

I hate store specific preorder bonuses. Its never going to change my mind about where I'm buying the game from but it very much annoys me that they try by giving better bonuses to some stores.

Still very much excited for the game, but Id prefer it if this trend would just die.

Best Buy for me based of the bonuses and the fact that they are a better company than Gamestop.

OBJ,

I may be incorrect here (it has happened only once before though wink), but they are bound to annouce a special collector's edition for Dishonored with the amount of interest it is garnering. And I *probably* will upgrade to that edition, if and when they announce it and it is available at GameStop.

As always Australia will wait until we will see what kind of pre-order we will end up with, but any with in-game content definitely has my vote!
