Dishonored 2 switched things up from the original game by offering you two different playable protagonists to choose from, Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano. The game illustrated the same phenomenal stealth gameplay design as the original incorporating exciting side missions and multiple approaches.

It stands to reason, then, that the New Game Plus mode of a game that has built its reputation on letting you play how you want to would deliver and it really does.

As you’d expect, you will be able to retain all of your bone charm traits, assigned runes and any blueprints you found in your previous run, but it gets better. You’ll be able to re-spend all of your rune points so no matter whether you choose to play as the same character or switch it up you can build your playstyle from scratch with the points you already earned.

Not only that, you can mix and match Corvo and Emily’s powers to create the playstyle of your dreams. This is a great way to refine your previous attempted build or try something completely different.
