Video game publisher Bethesda has launched the very first gameplay trailer for its upcoming role-playing and action mix Dishonored, showing potential players the visual style of the game and hinting at the narrative that buyers will be able to discover.

The company has been hinting at a big announcement for the last few days and the player base expected something bigger than just a trailer.

Dishonored is developed by Arkane, a new studio that is staffed by veterans from the video game industry that have worked on the original Deus Ex and on Arx Fatalis.

The main character of the game will be an assassin of considerable skill. who is unfairly blamed for a crime and needs to fight and explore in order to prove his innocence and reveal a bigger plot.

Dishonored will be launched on the PlayStation 3 from Sony, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PC and is currently slated for this year, although the already crowded schedule might see it pushed back to 2013.
