Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-themed third-person shooters, is finally branching out to mobile devices! However, it's not quite the mobile game you might expect.
Instead of a traditional mobile port, 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, harkening back to a classic storytelling style, places DedSec in a near-future London, battling a new threat with the help of the AI, Bagley. Bagley guides players' choices after each episode.
This unusual mobile debut for Watch Dogs, a franchise roughly the same age as Clash of Clans, is surprising. While the audio adventure format isn't new, its application to a major franchise like Watch Dogs is noteworthy. This release hints at the franchise's diverse approach and perhaps less-than-robust marketing.
The reception of Watch Dogs: Truth will be closely watched to gauge its success and potential for future mobile Watch Dogs experiences.
