Get One of the Best Stealth Games Ever for Free This Week

Dishonored 2, the acclaimed masterpiece from Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks, stands as a high-water mark for the stealth genre. If you haven’t experienced it yet, you’re in luck: Lenovo is offering the game for free later this week.

As part of its periodic “key drop” initiatives, Lenovo will be distributing copies of Dishonored 2 via the Legion Gaming Community. The promotion is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. EST on May 13 and will remain active until the supply of keys is exhausted.

To secure your copy, you will need active accounts on both the Legion Gaming Community and Gamesplanet, with your Steam profile properly linked to your Legion account. Once the giveaway goes live, you must join the digital queue on the event page. Upon reaching the front of the line, you will have a ten-minute window to claim your voucher on Gamesplanet and redeem it on Steam.

If you meet the requirements, this offer is well worth your time. Arkane Studios is widely regarded as the gold standard for modern stealth design, and Dishonored 2 remains their magnum opus. The game thrives on ingenious, multifaceted level design—most notably in a brilliant mansion sequence that forces players to navigate between the past and the present. It remains one of the most memorable setpieces I have ever encountered in gaming.

Ultimately, Dishonored 2 excels because it empowers player agency. Whether you choose to leverage supernatural abilities to sow chaos or embrace a strictly non-lethal, ghostly approach, the game adapts to your playstyle. Even nearly a decade after its release, I continue to discover fresh ways to tackle its challenges.

It is surreal to think that Dishonored 2 is approaching its tenth anniversary, and that the franchise has remained dormant since Death of the Outsider in 2017. Here is hoping that after Arkane Studios wraps up their work on the upcoming Marvel Blade title, they find a path back to this beloved series.
