The official Watch Dogs reveal was done today and with it came a number of details about the game.
The main character’s name is Marcus Holloway, and he starts hacking back after he has been convicted of a crime he did not commit. According to Ubisoft, You’ll be taking on the role of Marcus Holloway, a brilliant young hacker who’s been affected by the injustices he’s witnessed from the oppressive ctOS 2.0 system, and as a victim of a crime prediction algorithm that ruined his life. Marcus is a charming, funny guy that knows how to have fun, but he’s also a passionate idealist who wants to give control back to the people. Motion capture has been utilized for a more realistic gameplay perspective and it will utilize the same open-world setup as the first game. You will be able to explore the entirety of San Francisco and all of it’s famous landmarks while hacking till your heart’s content. According to the streams, missions will use a similar style setup and allow you go in guns blazing, full stealth, only hacking or some combination of the three. It will be up to the player to decide, including in multiplayer.
Ubisoft stated that the multiplayer has received some tweeks, including making it more immersive than the first game by having more NPC’s in the multiplayer maps. The A.I. has been improved so that NPC’s start arguments with each other, call the police on each other, etc. This impacts the gameplay as walking past a group arguing will also draw attention to yourself, so you’ll have to avoid these groups whenever possible.
They also announced a San Fran Collector’s Edition, which you can see below, and includes the following items:

  1. The game
  2. Lithographs
  3. Marcus figurine
  4. Map of San Fran
  5. Collector’s Box
  6. Stickers of San Fran
  7. Zodiac Killer mission
  8. Deluxe Pack (skins for both Marcus and his car. One each)


 
The game’s release date is still November 15th, which was the leaked date prior to today’s reveal. It will of course be on Xbox One, PS4 and PC as well. Online play will feature co-op modes, which is new to the series, and there will also be expanded PvP modes as well. The first game saw only a basic “hunt down your opponent” mode so it will be interesting to see what Ubisoft has in store for Marcus Holloway.
The game is available for pre-order now. Be sure to let us know what you think below, and check out the reveal trailer and some images here
