Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices, albeit in an unexpected format. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.
Players guide DedSec's actions in near-future London by making choices that shape the narrative. This choose-your-own-adventure style experience, guided by the AI Bagley, offers a unique take on the franchise.
The release of Watch Dogs: Truth on mobile is surprising, considering the franchise's age and the relatively quiet marketing campaign. While the Watch Dogs series has a history of diverse releases, this audio adventure represents a significant departure from the core gameplay. However, the format itself holds potential, and the involvement of a major franchise like Watch Dogs could revitalize interest in interactive audio experiences. The success of Watch Dogs: Truth will be closely monitored to gauge its appeal to players.
