Bethesda Softworks has announced a collaboration with its newly acquired studio Arkane Studios, developers of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and Arx Fatalis, to work on its new title Dishonored.

Under the direction of Raphael Colantonio, lead designer of Arx Fatalis, and Harvey Smith, lead designer on Deus Ex, Dishonored is set for a release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2012.

Additionally, Viktor Antonov, the designer of Half-Life 2's City 17, will be lending his vision to Dishonored.

“At Arkane we have a passion for creating deep, immersive game experiences,” said Colantonio. “To be able to finally share details of our project is both extremely exciting and satisfying.”

The game will be getting a cover reveal in GameInformer's August 2011 issue.
