Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Franchise Debuts on Mobile

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-themed third-person shooters, is venturing into the mobile gaming sphere! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game port. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.

Players guide the narrative by making choices that shape DedSec's actions in a near-future London setting. This choose-your-own-adventure style, reminiscent of classic interactive fiction, features the familiar AI companion, Bagley, offering guidance after each episode. The storyline depicts DedSec facing a new threat, once again at odds with authorities.

The Watch Dogs franchise's relatively late arrival on mobile, considering its age (similar to Clash of Clans), is noteworthy. While this audio adventure format is unconventional, the potential of a major franchise exploring this medium is intriguing. The less-than-extensive marketing campaign surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is also curious. Nevertheless, the reception of this unique mobile entry will be closely observed.
