If you read the GameInformer article, there's a whole section where they pretty much admit that for a long time, they had no fucking idea as to how to approach the game.
Then, Dishonored comes and a few months later EM finally has things to show, and what do you know, they look very much like Dishonored, with the setting shifted heavily towards XIXth and even early XXth century (just look at the clothing on the characters), almost identical colour palettes, a social tensions+plague+tyrant setup that IS identical and gameplay features that are very much similar to Dishonored.
Hmm...
Yeah, been waiting for that game, not anymore. Maybe if I had liked Dishonored a bit more. But just turned out not to be my cup of tea, unfortunately.
Also Dishonored took ideas from the Thief series now the Thief reboot will incorporate ideas from Dishonored, doesn't bode well. On top of that it has been in development hell.
