Het team bij Arkane Studios heeft de tweede gratis update uitgebracht voor Dishonored 2, deze keer voegde het custom moeilijkheidsgraad toe en de mogelijkheid om terug te gaan en een missie over te doen.

De nieuwe update, welke verder gaat op het “play your own way” thema, voegt 20 moeilijkheidssliders toe, deze laten je de game zo instellen als jij wil. Er is ook een nieuwe Iron Modus deze schakelt de handmatige en automatische saves uit, hierdoor wordt je gedwongen voorzichtig te zijn.

“Iron Mode adds even more teeth to Dishonored 2,” aldus Lead Designer Dinga Bakaba in een blog bericht. “You will have to live with the consequences of your actions, or die permanently because of them.”

Naast de sliders is er nu ook de keuze gekomen voor je missies. Dit maakt het makkelijker om de Ghost of Clean Hands achievement binnen te halen.

Natuurlijk zitten er bij een update altijd wat fixes, hieronder de lijst:
