Bethesda has announced that those looking to own the "complete" version of first-person stealth title Dishonored will be able to do so come May 14 when the four pre-order DLC packs are bundled together for sale. Included in the bundle is the Acrobatic Killer Pack, Arcane Assassin Pack, Backstreet Butcher Pack and Shadow Rat Pack, all bundled into the Void Walker Arsenal.

With the Void Walker’s Arsenal add-on pack, gain immediate access to four content bundles previously available only through pre-ordering Dishonored. The Acrobatic Killer Pack, Arcane Assassin Pack, Backstreet Butcher Pack and Shadow Rat Pack offer unique character bonuses, additional bone charm slots, unhidden books and bonus coins that will aid you in your pursuit of revenge. Found in the Hound Pits Pub, use these items to enhance your playthrough of Corvo’s main campaign in the original game.

The bundle will be available on all platforms for $3.99 (320 Microsoft Points). You can check out the official Bethesda Blog for the full details on what each pack includes.

Making its way out of the shadows is the first gameplay trailer for Dishonored's recently announced DLC pack, The Knife of Dunwall. The new content will star Daud, whom players may remember as the assassin that was contracted to kill the Empress, the pivotal event that sparked Corvo's quest.

After assassinating the Empress, and forever changing the fate of Dunwall, you embark on a search for redemption. The Outsider reveals the key to your atonement, but who—or what—is Delilah?

Accompanied by the Whalers, your loyal band of mercenary assassins, your search will take you through never-before-seen districts of Dunwall as you face off against new and terrible foes. Employ a unique arsenal of new weapons and powers that enhance Dishonored’s dynamic combat, mobility and stealth systems.

In the struggle to hang onto the last shred of your humanity, the choices you make will ultimately determine your fate.

A fact sheet explains that Daud will be able to utilise similar supernatural abilities as Corvo, with a few new options, as well as call in his underlings for assistance. Players will get to see familiar locations and events from a different perspective, as well as visit new sections of the city of Dunwall.

The announcement also revealed the third, and final expansion The Brigmore Witches, which will "conclude Daud's Story".

While us Australians still have to wait another day before we can get our hands on the very hotly anticipated title Dishonored (AusGamers 9.6/10) from Arkane Studios, the lucky Americans (or VPN people) have been enjoying the game since yesterday. To celebrate the launch, Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks have released a launch trailer today showcasing the very gritty nature of the industrial whaling city Dunwall.

Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where strange technology and otherworldly mysticism coexist in the shadows. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card.

In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with neo-industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon your abilities beyond those of any common man -- but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.

Those of you holding out until the last minute should probably not watch this, but for anyone else eager to see what Dishonored is about, then make sure you check out the trailer below.

By now the Internet has exploded with reports of Dishonored's foray into the videogame landscape as not only one of the year's best releases, but also one of this generation's.

And they'll all be right. Arkane's first effort under the ownership of publisher Bethesda is one of the most exciting IPs I've had the pleasure of entering in to, and the more of its amazing world I understand, the more I hope that it proves an amazing success so we'll see more. From a videogame perspective, it's the perfect antithesis to almost every other first-person game on the market, or about to come into the market. If you like single-player games, player-choice, stealth and incredible narrative, this is one not to be missed.

Each time I've spoken with anyone from Arkane Studios, I've always snuck a question about "transmedia" in there. Transmedia, for those unaware, is the exploitation of your source material across more than one media platform, and in the case of Arkane and Dishonored, seems like a perfect way to pull from the seemingly deep and rich world the developer has crafted for their forthcoming single-player experience

Every time I've aksed I've been met with a "we're just focusing on the game right now" type of response, but my question may have been answered, in short, by today's new "Tales From Dunwall - Part 1" Dishonored video.

While short, the video's purpose is to begin fleshing out, at least from a background perspective, the game-world we'll all be trouncing through in two weeks time, and it's as stylish as all get-up. (In fact, I'm as excited about seeing more of these as I am about playing the Game.)

We had a chance to speak with Dishonored's executive producer, Julien Roby, in what will likely be our last Arkane interview ahead of the game's release next month.

Topics discussed include the game's main-story play-time, the potential for speed runs, PC key-binding, gameplay systems and what didn't make it in. Transmedia is also pitched, along with level design, how the game's ending will reflect your in-game actions and what subtle changes players can also expect based on their play-style.
