A big and pleasant surprise for everyone at E3 this year is Ubisoft's upcoming open-world action-adventure game, Watch Dogs. Led by the great minds behind blockbusters like Assassin's Creed, Rainbow 6, and Far Cry, Watch Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic and living open world where players must use any means at their disposal to take down a corrupt system.
Players enter the dangerous world of Aiden Pearce, a new class of antihero whose ability to hack into any connected system could be his most powerful weapon. Whether it’s triggering a 30-car pileup by manipulating traffic-lights to trap an enemy during a downtown shootout or tapping into the city’s omnipresent security cameras to access anyone’s personal information, Pearce is capable of coercing and controlling almost every element of the world around him.
“Watch Dogs goes beyond the limits of today’s open-world games by giving players the ability to control an entire city,” said Jonathan Morin, creative director, Ubisoft. “In Watch Dogs, anything connected to the city’s Central Operating System becomes a weapon. By pushing the boundaries, we can provide players with action and access to information on a scale that’s never been seen in a video game before.”
No release date has been announced as of this time, but rest assured that we're all waiting rather impatiently to hear more about this fascinating technological title. Some screenshots and team photos we've managed to pull at E3 so far:
