Their new murder sandbox seems like Dishonored meets Hitman, and that's certainly no accident.

"As much as we wanted to do something very original with this game, we also wanted some familiarity," says game director Dinga Bakaba in an interview with IGN.

In just about every Deathloop trailer so far, Colt uses it to appear behind unsuspecting enemies or get a height advantage by scaling buildings.

The challenge is in working out how to get it done on schedule by manipulating your targets and expanding your own abilities.

You can spot Colt doing a lot of the same in yesterday's new Dishonored trailer up above.

Bakaba didn't let on exaclty which other abilities we'll see, borrowed from Dishonored or otherwise.
