You can’t simply invite witches into your game. You have to prepare: secure broom parking points; custom slippers built to support their square feet; gas fireplaces to replace culturally insensitive hearths; that sort of thing.
Arkane know this, and have put together a big old patch ahead of The Brigmore Witches’ release next week. One thing the covens can’t abide, I’m told, is dodgy admin – and so the developers have put straight a bug that meant NPCs killed by fall damage were missing from the game’s end-of-level kill stats screen.
Here’s 40 minutes of The Brigmore Witches footage, set in a fairly familiar location*: Coldridge Prison. No witches, mind. They’ll come later.
Dishonored’s last DLC release – and Daud’s last shot at redemption – is due on Steam on Tuesday, August 13th. It’ll be $9.99 or £7.99, and I’ll be very surprised if it isn’t exceedingly good. Read our Rob’s PC review of The Knife of Dunwall for an idea of what we might be in for.

*Though thankfully not the Flooded District, again. Can we stop returning to the game’s least intelligently-designed environment, please?).
