    Arkane Studios will wrap up downloadable content plans for its stealth-action thriller, Dishonored, with the upcoming release of "The Brigmore Witches," a narrative-rich expansion that follows up on April's DLC "The Knife of Dunwall." Despite being a direct continuation of the previous DLC's storyline, The Brigmore Witches forges its own identify, introducing a new set of features for Dishonored's final chapter. In the final chapter [campaign spoilers ahead], players will once again take on the role of Daud, leader of the Whalers responsible for the assassination of Empress Jessamine. The Brigmore Witches begins with Dishonored's iconic showdown between Daud and Corvo, only this time players are in direct control of Daud's fate. The outcome may play out differently from how players saw the confrontation through Corvo's viewpoint. The Brigmore Witches then returns players to Coldridge Prison, where Daud needs to mastermind a breakout in order to further his quest for revenge. There are a variety options players have to infiltrate Coldridge as an outsider, as opposed to the captive role Corvo played in Dishonored's main storyline. The stealth route involves sneaking in through the sewer, discovering your quarry's location, and releasing their lock remotely using gathered intel. At the mission's outset, players are also given the option of disguising Daud as a visiting Overseer, which grants access to the prison's less secure entrance areas. Wander into a restricted area, however, and a battalion of armed guards will surround Daud, forcing players to use his teleportation-like Blink abilities to scale the multi-story fortress in order to escape. Players may also opt to free other prisoners in order to create diversions, as rescuing your target soon proves more difficult than expected.%Gallery-193909%

    Dishonored's "The Brigmore Witches" will conclude the game's downloadable content plans on August 13 (August 14 for PS3 in Europe). This DLC picks up where the previous add-on pack, "The Knife of Dunwall," left off. The assassin Daud has found Delilah and will come to terms with betrayal, feuding factions and the Brigmore Witches via liberal application of an edged weapon. Skirting spoiler territory, Daud's two DLC packs take place parallel to the events of Dishonored, leading to a confrontation with the main game's protagonist Corvo Attano. Powers, weapons, upgrades and Chaos level from The Knife of Dunwall will carry over to Brigmore. The DLC is priced at $10 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. %Gallery-193909%
