Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

Standalone expansion that finishes the story of Kaldwin era, and in particular Billie Lurk's and Daud's journey. Out now:

First impressions are positive, apparently it is well optimized and high quality as usual from Arkane.
Personally I already bought it and can't wait to dive in.

By stand alone, does that mean that it doesn't need the original game to play it?

Exactly, it is basically a separate new game.

Well, I just started, seems to run like butter, I got enveloped by its atmosphere and immediately got the desire to replay first two games with DLC before delving into this final chapter.

So I will be playing Death of the Outsider sometime in a month or two

Do we know how many hours of gameplay we're getting in this 'stand alone' DLC?

Depends on playstyle. There are 5 big missions, I usually take three or four hours in D2's each mission, so I expect to be playing this for 15-20 hours.

It is definitely a proper expansion in Hearts of Stone vein.

Can you play this before Dishonored 2 ? or does it contain spoilers from D2, or is it completely separate story to D2 ? cheers

It is intended as conclusion of this story arc and takes place after D2, so I would definitely play it after that.
