That is right Dishonored fans, the final installment of downloadable content for Dishonored is now available and it is called ‘The Brigmore Witches’. The add-on pack is out now on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam.

Bethesda outlined the final add-on pack’s story and gameplay in their press release:

In The Brigmore Witches, continue your journey as the legendary assassin, Daud, and bring his twisted narrative that began with The Knife of Dunwall to a close. After discovering the identity and intentions of Delilah, the leader of the Brigmore Witch coven, you set out to disrupt her from completing a powerful ritual that will spell your doom. Having already been betrayed by your lieutenant, Billie Lurk, you must rely on feuding gang factions – the Dead Eels and the Hatters – to negotiate your way through previously unseen districts of Dunwall en route to Delilah’s stronghold.  Regardless of the way you reach your destination, one thing is for certain – you will finally answer for your treacherous actions and fall before the mercy, or punishment, of the Royal Bodyguard and Assassin, Corvo Attano. Additionally, your power, weapon and item upgrades, Chaos level, and player actions from The Knife of Dunwall will carry over via a compatible save file option.

Not only that but they have also released a brand new trailer for ‘The Brigmore Witches which you can access for your viewing pleasure below. For more information on Dishonored and The Brigmore Witches, check out the official Dishonored website here.
