So yeah, I’m a bit hyped for this game. 🙂
Following on the heels of their recent announcement of Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft recently released a ton of new preview content for the game at the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
One of the few video game titles featuring a lead African American protagonist, Watch Dogs 2 focuses on a group of hackers who seek to use their skills to take on a corrupt corporate system.
As explained by Ubisoft the game, “In 2016, ctOS 2.0, an advanced operating system networking city infrastructure, was implemented in severy US cities to create a safer, more efficient metropolis.
Play as Marcus Holloway, a brilliant young hacker living in the birthplace of the tech revolution, the San Francisco Bay Area. Team up with Dedsec, a notorious group of hackers and expose the hidden dangers of ctOS 2.0, which, in the hands of corrupt corporations, is being wrongfully used to monitor and manipulate citizens on a massive scale.
Using the skills and anonymity of hackers, ignite the rebel in you and break the rules-for the lulz, for what’s right, and most importantly, because you can.”
The game is scheduled for release on November 15, 2016 for the XBOX One, PS4, and PC.
Check out some of the E3 gameplay/ preview videos below, and take special note to the Run The Jewels track. 🙂
