Bethesda's Dishonored gets a release date!

Bethesda has announced yesterday that Dishonored, the game that was teased with an awesome video a few weeks ago, has been given a release date.  It will be released on October 9th of this year.  Below is the synopsis giving more details about the story of the game given by Bethesda.

    Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where steampunk inspired technology and otherworldly forces exist in the shadows.  You are Corvo, the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress who has been murdered.  Framed for the crime, you become an infamous assassin, known by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card.  In a time of uncertainty, when the city is besieged by the plague and ruled by a corrupt government armed with frightening technologies, dark forces bestow supernatural abilities upon you - but at what cost?  The truth behind your betrayal is a murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.

Fun times.
