Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a standalone adventure about Billie Lurk, a notorious killer-for-hire who reunites with her former mentor, Daud. Their target is the Outsider, a god-like figure they believe is tied to the Empire’s dishonorable history. The pursuit takes them into Karnaca, where uncovering the Outsider’s origins means confronting dangerous factions and making decisions with lasting consequences.
The game’s defining appeal is the freedom to shape each encounter. Billie can rely on supernatural abilities, weapons and gadgets to slip through unseen, or meet opposition directly; the description also highlights brutal combat, distinctive level design and a story that responds to choices. Contracts add optional targets, while missions include infiltrating underground fight clubs and cults and undertaking a bank heist. These examples point to an adventure built around varied approaches rather than a single prescribed style of assassination.
Its replay option, Original Game Plus, lets players return with some powers from Dishonored 2, extending the scope for experimentation. Newcomers can approach it as a standalone entry, while its characters, setting and returning abilities also connect it to the broader Dishonored series.
