The first of Dishonored's 2-part DLC, The Knife of Dunwall follows the assassin Daud. While the story opens with his part in the death of the Empress, most of it is spent later in Dishonored's story. Daud has lost favour with the Outsider, the god that granted him his otherworldy powers, and he is sent on a quest to investigate just one word: "Delilah".

The Knife of Dunwall is, in short, more Dishonored, but there are some differences. Daud's collection of powers are slightly different to Corvo's and his years of mastery have given even the powers they share, like the short-range teleport Blink, their own unique touch. Once again you're encouraged to approach levels stealthily and non-lethally, but Daud's ability to summon fellow assassins in combat makes fighting quite fun, so you'll have to balance your approach. We also get to ply our trade across 3 stages; the last of them is lifted from the regular game which is disappointing, but the first two are fun new additions, including a whaling slaughterhouse and a huge manor house with scant few places to hide.
