Dishonored Definitive Edition Gets Release Date & Discounts
Bethesda is trying to entice Dishonored fans to purchase the upcoming Definitive Edition of the game with discounts for returning players.
A Bethesda spokesperson confirmed with us that if you own the download version of the original game, you'll get a substantial discount on the Definitive Edition at the PSN store ($19.99 down from $39.99). Microsoft is also running their own deal. Users are reporting that the PSN store will automatically read your account and if the Dishonored download is detected, the offer will automatically show up at the discounted price. We could not confirm this detection first hand.
The spokesperson also told us that those dealing in second-hand boxed copies [Full Disclosure: Game Informer is owned by GameStop] will be running their own deals. We called some local GameStop stores, but none of them were running any trade-in deals – so please check with your retailer first.
This discount is apparently applicable to those PlayStation Plus members who downloaded the game for free with their membership as part of the plan's April games.
As announced at E3, the Definitive Edition contains better graphics for the new systems, as well as the game's three DLC expansions.
The Definitive Edition comes out for PS4 and Xbox One on August 25.

Our Take
Great that it apparently applies to the free PS Plus download as well. Anyone seeing the discount pop up on their account?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
