Publisher Bethesda Softworks has today unveiled Dishonored, an all-new first-person action game currently under development at Arkane Studios.

Best known for creating the classic RPG title Arx Fatalis for the PC and Xbox, the Arkane crew is back, this time, teaming up with Deus Ex's designer Harvey Smith along with Viktor Antonov who designed Half-Life 2's iconic City 17.

The first details of the game will be revealed in the August issue of Game Informer. According to a snippets from the mags official site:

"Dishonored is the antithesis of a edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride. It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone. It's a game about infiltration where you can set up traps and slaughter the entire garrison of an aristocrat's mansion rather than sneak in. It's a game about brutal violence where you can slip in and out of a fortified barracks with nobody ever knowing you were there. It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees."

Dishonored is slated for release sometime in 2012 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Aside from the game, Bethesda is also busy putting the finishing touches for Skyrim, their hotly anticipated action RPG of the year.
