One of publisher Bethesda’s big holiday games is not performing better than its predecessor in the United Kingdom.
Dishonored 2 is selling more than a third slower than the original game did in the U.K., according to results from sales-tracking firm GfK Chart-Track. For the week ending November 12, Dishonored 2 was only the fourth best-selling game in Great Britain and Ireland. Previously released games like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, FIFA 17, and Battlefield 1 outsold Bethesda’s open-world stealth adventure. In 2012, Dishonored debuted at No. 2 in October behind only FIFA 13. These numbers come despite the game’s quality wowing many of its players. Bethesda has introduced a prohibition on early reviews for its products, so it’s possible some may want to wait and see before buying it.
