This Fan-Favorite Fantasy Revenge Thriller Video Game Deserves a Major TV Adaptation




Ask a gamer to summarize Dishonored, and you'll probably hear any combination of the following: "dark fantasy steampunk revenge action thriller." That's quite a range for developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks' (Fallout, The Elder Scrolls) 2012 original. Dishonored doesn't fumble the ball. The familiar plot devices and narrative beats are so efficiently integrated and resoundingly engrossing that both the journey and its destination substantiate this dynamic, imaginative, robust, and, dare I say, near-perfect masterpiece's initiative. Those strengths, complete with an existing cinematic edge, slot right into existing television trends and viewer appetites — especially since superb video game adaptations aren't nearly as rare as a unicorn as they once were.
