In anticipation of the release of Dishonored next week—in addition to the series of developer diaries released recently—a three-part animated short titled “The Tales of Dunwall” has been released.

The webisodes act as a prequel to the game, in which you’ll play as a supernatural assassin out for revenge after being framed for the murder of the Queen.

You can read more and watch all three parts—“The Awakening,” “The Hand That Feeds,” and “In the Mind of Madness”—below now.

DESCRIPTION

Presenting a three-part Dishonored webisode series entitled “The Tales from Dunwall.” These engrossing prequels, scored by Daniel Licht (Dexter) and narrated by Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick Ass), gives you a first-hand glimpse into Dishonored’s shadowy whaling world of Dunwall, where plague is rampant and the city is in disarray and on the verge of dystopia.

Created by Psyop, each episode was predominantly produced by hand. Each frame was a fully rendered style frame, which was then enhanced with 3D elements to add to the painterly atmosphere, dimension and depth of each shot. Rokkan, Bethesda’s marketing agency, was responsible for the webisode’s concept and script.

Dishonored casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. Creatively eliminate your targets with the flexible combat system as you combine supernatural abilities with weapons and gadgets at your disposal. Dishonored will be available in North America on October 9, 2012 and throughout Europe on October 12, 2012, and is slated for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
