In a nutshell, Dishonored 2 sold "worse" than it's original - despite positive critical reception. With PS4/X1/PC combined, Dishonored 2 only sold 2.5 Million copies, while the original sold that much on PC alone. Bethesda and Arkane decided to shelve the franchise for now.

Honestly, I can't blame them. With sales figures like that, I'm sure it barely covered production costs. Great franchise, no doubt - but just as was the case with Mankind Divided, the appetite for Stealth games just...isnt there. At least not on a blockbuster level. I feel your pain though fans - the same thing happened to Dead Space.

It has been Dishonored

heh

Shame on you people! Go out there and buy this great game now so we can get more in the future :(

Sad. Didn't care for it the first time i played it, but gave it a second chance and really enjoyed it. At least the story had a definite ending

It's a sad day when 2.5 million sold games is considered bad :/

Only 2.5 million sales? It think their production costs are more then covered.

I remember watching the very first Dishonored trailer when it dropped. I think Bethesda might have wanted it to be bigger household name but it never really got to that level. Sad though when a good series is shelved because of a bunch of "suits" up top.

i tried several times to like this game. its not for me.

Good for them. Now they can do something new and exciting!

I am fairly certain that that's .5 million more than Breath of the Wild needed to match its production cost.

Puts some things into perspective, doesn't it?
