I don't think that there'll be a Dishonored 3

Not a numbered game called Dishonored 3, but another game set in the Dishonored franchise is possible imo. When Dishonored: Death of the Outsider released and Arkane said it was the end of the Kaldwin era/trilogy of games, they said there was a chance that they would come back to the Dishonored franchise with a different era and setting at some point in the future. Now that we know that Deathloop is part of the Dishonored universe, just set far into the future, we actually have a timeline for when a potential new Dishonored series could be set. Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider are set in the 1880's as I recall, while a map inside of Deathloop says that the island Deathloop is set on was discovered by naval explorers in the 1930's as I recall, and based on the level of technology, the art, and clothing styles in Deathloop, it was the 1970's when they succeeded in creating the 1 day time loop on the island. That gives us a window of 90 years between Dishonored 2 and the start of the time loop on the island, where a game that is both Dishonored sequel and Deathloop prequel could be set. There is also a possibility of a Dishonored game set before Dishonored 1 I suppose.
A Deathloop sequel seems like it is obviously in the cards, especially now that Deathloop has received an extended ending that teases a sequel alongside the Xbox version as part of the 1 year update. But they could also do a Dishonored sequel/Deathloop prequel game at some point, afterall there are still alot of unanswered question about what happened during that 90 year window that Deathloop doesn't adequately answer.
On a side note, Dishonored was originally supposed to have a Feudal Japan based setting, but Bethesda convinced Arkane that a western developed, Japan set game would flop and the setting was changed to being based on 1860's Europe instead. Now that that Ghost of Tsushima has proven Bethesda's claim about a western developed, Japan set game flopping to be false, I would love to see a new stealth + magic powers immersive sim feudal Japan based game by Arkane in the future.
