Dishonored v1.3 title update fixes bugs, readies the game for Knife of Dunwall DLC

Dishonored developer Arkane Studios is updating the game to version 1.3 today to fix bugs and get the title ready for the upcoming Knife of Dunwall DLC, publisher Bethesda Softworks announced today.

The v1.3 patch fixes a smattering of bugs in both the game itself and its first piece of DLC, December's Dunwall City Trials. Issues that the update addresses include crashes, achievements unlocking incorrectly and statistics displays. It also adds support for The Knife of Dunwall, the first part of an add-on campaign featuring the assassin Daud; the DLC will be released April 16 for $10.

You can see the full list of bug fixes below. For more on The Knife of Dunwall, check out our preview of the DLC from PAX East 2013.
