Exploring The Dishonored Series: A Guide To Playing In Order

Before it made time-looping shooter Deathloop, Arkane Studios was responsible for the Dishonored series of games. Partly inspired by the original Thief trilogy, the games see you sneaking, slashing, and magicking your way around a wealth of wonderfully realized levels. They’re an awful lot of fun, especially if you were let down by the Thief reboot. However, with names like Dishonored: Death of the Outsider and DLC such as The Brigmore Witches, how are you to know which order to play the Dishonored games in? And which, if any, downloadable content should you tackle?

Well, to get the full story, you’ll need to play the games in the order below. This chronological approach not only enhances the gaming experience but also allows you to appreciate the character development and story arcs that intertwine throughout the series.

As you embark on this journey through the Dishonored universe, expect to encounter a rich narrative filled with intriguing characters, each contributing to the depth of the game world. With each title, you’ll find yourself more invested in the story and the fate of its characters, making the experience all the more rewarding.

How to Play the Dishonored Games in Chronological Order

1. Dishonored
2. The Knife of Dunwall (Dishonored DLC)
3. The Brigmore Witches (Dishonored DLC)
4. Dishonored II
5. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

Do you have to play Dishonored’s DLC? Not exactly, and you won’t be left scratching your head if you don’t dive into The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. But if you do play the DLC, you’ll get more out of the trilogy. You’ll understand how certain characters fit into the world, and when you meet them again, you’ll appreciate them more.

Besides which, if you buy the Definitive Edition of Dishonored, available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, you’ll get the DLC included. And yes, we know there have been some shoddy pieces of DLC over the years, but Dishonored’s DLC is absolutely worth your time!

And that’s how to play the Dishonored games in order. We hope you enjoy the sneaky, stabby road you’re about to embark on. The journey is rich with lore and gameplay that will keep you engaged from start to finish.
