To promote the new upcoming and highly anticipated Watch Dogs game that launches later this month on May 27th, 2014 for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 as well as next-generation Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well as Nintendo’s Wii U games console during the autumn, Ubisoft has been ramping up its marketing efforts.
Real-Life Hacking Scenario
A new video has been created showing what could happen if the hacking within Watch Dogs was to spill over into real life. This live-action video, which you can watch below, explores the intriguing and somewhat terrifying possibilities of a world where hacking is as pervasive and powerful as it is in the game. The video not only serves as a promotional tool but also as a thought-provoking piece on the potential consequences of advanced hacking capabilities in our everyday lives. Check out the live-action video after the jump to see what could be possible.
Gameplay and Features
Earlier this month, Ubisoft also released a new trailer showing gameplay and detailing a number of the features and storyline that you can enjoy once the game is officially launched. The trailer provides an in-depth look at the game’s mechanics, including the hacking system, combat, and the open-world environment.
“Watch Dogs is a third-person shooter set in an open world recreation of Chicago, Illinois. The fictionalized, hyper-connected version of the city is managed through a centralized system called CtOS. The single-player story is told through Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled grey hat hacker who can hack into the CtOS, granting him access to various electronic systems, either to obtain and control information or to interact with these systems to his advantage.”
The game promises a rich narrative experience, with Aiden Pearce’s story being central to the gameplay. Players will navigate through a city where every electronic device is interconnected, offering a plethora of opportunities to manipulate the environment to their advantage. From controlling traffic lights to accessing security cameras, the hacking mechanics are designed to provide a unique and immersive experience.
Anticipation and Expectations
The anticipation for Watch Dogs has been building for months, with gamers eagerly awaiting its release. The game’s innovative approach to hacking and its open-world design have set high expectations. Ubisoft has been actively engaging with the community, releasing teasers and trailers that showcase the game’s potential.
In addition to the main storyline, Watch Dogs will feature various side missions and activities that players can engage in. These include hacking challenges, criminal convoys, and gang hideouts, all of which add depth and replayability to the game. The multiplayer component also promises to be exciting, with players able to invade each other’s games and engage in hacking battles.
As the release date approaches, the excitement surrounding Watch Dogs continues to grow. The game’s unique blend of hacking, action, and open-world exploration sets it apart from other titles in the genre. Whether you’re a fan of third-person shooters or simply intrigued by the concept of a hyper-connected city, Watch Dogs is shaping up to be a must-play game of 2014.
