10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Were Secretly Sequels

10. Deathloop - Dishonored

Deathloop, a game created by the acclaimed Arkane Studios, is a banging FPS that shares a lot of DNA with the studio's flagship series, Dishonored. This makes complete sense, given that the company has a unique visual and gameplay style. There's bound to be some surface-level crossover there, right? As it turns out, the connection between these games runs much deeper than gamers were initially led to believe. 

There are plenty of allusions to Deathloop taking place within the Dishonored universe. For example, a lot of the buildings found on Blackreef Island share the same architectural style as those within the Empire of the Isles. Additionally, there are numerous documents dated with the series' unique calendar style, a recording of a whaler's song, and even weaponry from the Dunwall Imperial Armory. The list goes on and on. 

Some might argue that these are just references, but the game's director Dinga Bakaba confirmed (via Bethesda) that the game is, in fact, a follow-up, taking place in the future after Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. What a sneaky way to sell a sequel.
