Watch Dogs: Truth lets you play the Ubisoft series on mobile (sort of)
Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's popular series of hacker-centric third-person shooters, is venturing into the mobile world! Well, sort of. A new interactive audio adventure, Watch Dogs: Truth, has just launched on Audible. This unique experience lets you shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide Dedsec's next move.
Ubisoft's enduring franchise, Watch Dogs, continues to expand its reach. While not a traditional mobile game, Watch Dogs: Truth offers a fresh take on the series. This audio adventure, available now on Audible, immerses you in the story, allowing you to influence its progression through your choices.
The story plunges you into the world of Dedsec, once again at odds with authorities and facing a new threat in a near-future London. Guided by the self-aware AI, Bagley, you'll make decisions after each episode, shaping the narrative's trajectory. This choose-your-own-adventure format, a classic storytelling technique dating back to the 1930s, provides a unique gaming experience.
Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise is roughly the same age as Clash of Clans, making this mobile debut—albeit in an unusual format—all the more noteworthy. While the concept of an audio adventure isn't new, seeing a major franchise like Watch Dogs embrace this format is exciting.
The somewhat unconventional approach and relatively low-key marketing for Watch Dogs: Truth are intriguing. However, the innovative concept warrants attention, and it will be interesting to see how this audio adventure resonates with players. We'll be watching closely to see its reception!
