Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Audible is releasing Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure.
Players will shape the narrative by making choices that guide DedSec's actions in a near-future London setting. The story features the return of the self-aware AI Bagley, offering guidance after each episode. This choose-your-own-adventure style is a novel approach for the Watch Dogs series, harkening back to a classic interactive storytelling format.
Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise and Clash of Clans share a similar age, making this mobile debut somewhat unexpected. While the concept of an audio adventure may seem unconventional for a major franchise like Watch Dogs, it presents an intriguing opportunity. The relatively low-key marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is also noteworthy. The success of this unique release will be closely watched by fans and industry observers alike.
