Emily and Corvo have unique powers given by The Outsider. Emily has the Far Reach that allows her to reach out and pull herself to another building, more like a transportation trick. She will also have the Mesmerize and Shadow Walk.
Corvo will retain his original abilities including Bend Time, Blink, Possession and Devouring Swarm. For upgrades, “Dishonored 2” will incorporate a bunch of skill trees that allows the players to upgrade in symmetrical ways. If the Far Reach is to be upgraded, Emily can yank the enemies back to her and assassinate them mid-air.
The new game will take place in Karnaca, the capital of Serkonos, mostly known as the jewel of the south. This is also the birthplace of Corvo. It is a fairly warm location with beachfronts and spicy cuisines.
