User blog comment:Essie Essex/Arkane Studios Announces Dishonored 2/@comment-1500935-20150615101251

I'm a bit surprised that we get to play Emily, mostly because the main story of Dishonored was dwarfed by its incredibly detailed universe... but ok, let's do this, because that trailer was awesome! Karnaca is so much different from Dunwall aesthetically, whether it's the buildings or the people. The jump in mechanical technologies reminds me of Thief 2 which also introduced mechanical soldiers.

I wonder how Emily can get accused of regicide ("The Crown Killer is watching you") while being the Empress, unless it comes back to what happened in the first game. Also since the Duke talks about others in the conspiracy, I expect to see more than Karnaca though it would take an incredible amount of work from Arkane to nail a different style for each city.

And finally, as much as Blur Studios seem to have made great work on this atmospheric trailer like they did on Dishonored, we shouldn't add all details we see in this video on the wiki unless confirmed by the developers.
