Dishonored Release Date (?)

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 11:33 pm

Hi guys, I recently visited GameStop to pre-order AC:Revelations and while i was there i asked for one of their lists they carry of all the upcoming titles they have available for pre-order, when i got home and took a look at it, I noticed that the date they had marked for the PS3 version of Dishonored was 2/2/12. Any other confirmation on this, i'm a bit confused considering they said it was being planned for the 2nd quarter of 2012.

*The Date was the same for the PC version, and i didn't get an xbox360 list

EDIT: Just in case some foreign forum users might not get it the date is February 2nd

EDIT2: I screwed up the year in the description; sorry

Unless there's been an official announcement, game stores often just guess at a date so they can generate some preorders. Arkane will have their own internal targets, but they haven't announced anything.

The Game Informer preview from a few months back suggested the game was about a year away from release, so I'm not expecting it until the second half of 2012.

They said it would be released in Q2 of 2012. It's not very common for devs to push release dates but I guess it's possible. :shrug:

All we've announced is that it's coming next year. When we have a final date, we'll let you know.

You'll have to go ask Gamespot!

At least stores are better now than they used to be. Right after Bethesda announced Morrowind's release date as "Spring 2002," this was late autumn 2001, all of the stores put up . . . January 2002 release dates. Every few weeks, for the next six months, they'd push the dates back another few weeks. On several occasions store employees actually got extremely irrate at those forum regulars who said that these dates were wrong, because "they got their dates straight from the publisher" and we had no idea what we were talking about. Even after Bethesda announced "May 2002" most stores put up late April dates. :rolleyes:

Even worse was "The Elder Scrolls Adventures" a rumored PS2 title that sprung up around the same period. Every now and then a magazine pipeline or game store would suddenly list this supposed game and Pete would have to publicly state that no game was being developed. At one time Amazon.com listed "The Elder Scrolls Adventures" as a stand-alone PS2 copy of Bloodmoon . . . I have no idea how that would have worked, but it demonstrates just how persistent this rumor was.
