Ubisoft's 'Watch Dogs: Truth' Launches on Mobile

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-centric third-person shooters, is branching out—to mobile! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.

Players shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide Dedsec's actions. This choose-your-own-adventure format, a classic dating back to the 1930s, places players in near-future London as Dedsec confronts a new threat. The AI Bagley assists players in their decision-making process after each episode.

The mobile debut of Watch Dogs in this unconventional format is noteworthy, especially considering the franchise's age, roughly equivalent to that of Clash of Clans. While the approach is unique, the relatively low-key marketing is surprising. This audio adventure offers a fresh take on the Watch Dogs universe, and its success will undoubtedly be closely monitored. The reception of Watch Dogs: Truth will be a key indicator of the viability of this format for established franchises.
