From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Bethesda Softworks today announced that Dishonored, the supernatural assassin action game under development at Arkane Studios, will be available throughout Europe on 12 October 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

‘We are pleased that Dishonored has captured people’s attention,’ said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. ‘We are looking forward to sharing lots more information about the game leading up to its launch in October, and having a hands-on build of Dishonored in our booth at E3.’

Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where steampunk-inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. Players assume the role of Corvo who, having been framed for the murder of his beloved Empress, becomes an assassin to gain vengeance upon those responsible.

Yes, it does all sound somewhat familiar but the supernatural abilities at Corvo’s disposal, the flexible combat system and a unique visual style have all marked Dishonored as one of those titles right at the top of our watchlist. Roll on October.
