Dishonored will feature an all-star lineup of voice talent, publisher Bethesda Softworks announced today.

Daniel Licht, best known for his work on Dexter, is the composer behind Dishonored's score.

Susan Sarandon (Bull Durham) makes her video game debut as the voice of Granny Rags, an aristocrat in a previous life who is now living on the street. The inventor Piero, who built the mask worn by the protagonist, Corvo, and supplies him with useful gadgets, is voiced by Brad Dourif (Deadwood). Dunwall, the city where Dishonored takes place, features loudspeakers blaring propaganda read by Carrie Fisher (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).

Mad Men's John Slattery voices Admiral Havelock, a friendly Loyalist, and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Grand Theft Auto 3) plays the role of the assassin Daud. Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) is the voice of Calista; she serves as caretaker for Young Lady Emily, the Empress' daughter, who is voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz (Hugo).

"We want to draw people into this virtual world and make it feel real," said Raphael Colantonio, president of developer Arkane Studios. "Having such talented actors voice Dishonored's compelling cast of characters adds a rich, powerful element to the game."

Dishonored is due out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 9th. To read up on the game, check out our preview from QuakeCon 2012 and our extensive feature on the history of the two developers leading Arkane. We've also got the latest screenshots of the game, fresh from QuakeCon, below.
