• Dishonored 2 cost more to make than Skyrim and sold worse, but ex-dev says it was so good that it gave Arkane "seal-of-quality protection" within Bethesda

  23-01-2025 22:32 via gamesradar.com
  
  Dishonored 2 was a critical success but didn't see the kind of commercial turnout that developer Arkane and publisher Bethesda, or parent Zenimax, had been hoping for after the first game actually exceeded expectations.

• Razer's pricey mobile controller is discounted right now, but so is its brand new rival
