As the October 9 release date for Dishonored approaches, Bethesda is ramping up the promotion of the game, this time with a new developer diary video discussing how Arkane Studios goes about immersing the player in the rat-infested setting of Dunwall.

Watch for the part where you find out that they created a wolfhound with elements taken from a giraffe and crocodile to make a creature not seen in the real world. There are also some quick nods to the prominent voice actors in the game such as Susan Sarandon, Michael Madsen and Carrie Fisher.

The game is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

      This is fucking crazy.How the hell is it possible to be that good at concept art ? Definitely a very interesting game.I was sold a couple vids back.Hopefully all the stuff they did is actually polished.

        The art direction of this game is fantastic.

        I admit I'm curious to see how much they throw their systems/mechanics or player agency under the bus in order to maintain the polish on that incredible world they've created. Excessive hand-holding, invisible walls, taking control of the player POV, cinematic quicktime events... there's got to be a lot of temptation in those directions when you've gone to that much trouble with the presentation.

        These guys have historically been on the "immersive sim" side of the fence so I'm optimistic. (Still, going to wait for post-launch reviews and impressions.)
