Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall Cuts Itself of the DLC Pie
If you’ve been feeling a bit too honorable in the months since Bethesda and Arkane Studios’ Dishonored gave whalers everywhere a bad name, you’re in luck. Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is an all new piece of single-player DLC for the main game. It’s also been detailed by the aforementioned bigwigs.
Warning: Here there be spoilers.
The Knife of Dunwall will star Daud, the head of the slightly-less-supernatural-than-Corvo group of assassins known as the Whalers. Evidently, Daud’s been feeling a bit morally ambiguous after killing the empress to death in the main game, and it’s up to that spooky, no-good Outsider to help him find “Delilah”, someone or something that will help him overcome his angst (our money’s on Delilah turning out to be something, considering the studio took the time to mention it at all).
The continued involvement of the Outsider is perhaps a bit worrisome considering the character’s lukewarm response around the time the game came out. Hopefully this time Arkane can make him seem a bit less dowdy, eh? Hoho, I am on fire tonight.

Saint’s Row IV, Saint’s Row IV, SAINTS ROW IV
Oh thank the baby-Christ, the man-Jesus and any other apocryphal deity you care to mention! Saints Row IV has a trailer, new plot details and I couldn’t be happier.
Of course, this isn’t really a surprise, considering we’ve known that Saints Row The Third was on the cusp of getting a sequel ever since Enter the Dominatrix was scrapped in favor of… a sequel to Saints Row The Third.
Where was I? Oh yes.
The Saints are back and they’re set to become the presidents of the United States of America. Well, I suppose technically the boss of the Third Street Saints is set to become the president, but who knows? I wouldn’t put group governance past those rascals.
Speaking of America, the game is set for release on August 20th of this year in the U.S.
Interestingly enough, for those playing as a female Saint, this will likely be one of the best expressions of gender equality in government in any video game ever. It will also feature alien technology, superpowers and likely more than one reference to someone’s genitals.
You’re welcome, George Washington.

TimeSplitters Returns in the Form of a Fan-Made Game
The subtitle just about says it all. Having been fed up with those teases at Crytek and their will-they-won’t-they game regarding a new TimeSplitters game, a group of fans has decided to go and make one for them.
TimeSplitters Rewind is Crytek-approved and set to be a faithful recreation of the franchise’s multiplayer in CryEngine 3. We haven’t seen much of it besides the logo and a rendered image of Howard the Duck’s cousin, but I’m sure that won’t stop the ever-so-vocal TimeSplitters community from getting in a tizzy.
The developers also hope to recreate some of the so-called story elements from TimeSplitters games past, but right now their focus is on multiplayer. I’ve decided to interpret that as a stalling tactic, employed to distract us while they find an actual time machine and go back to add an actual story to TimeSplitters.
