Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs series is branching out—to Audible! Instead of a traditional mobile game, the franchise is debuting its first mobile experience as an interactive audio adventure, Watch Dogs: Truth.
This choose-your-own-adventure style title lets players shape the narrative by making key decisions that guide DedSec's actions against a new threat in a near-future London setting. The familiar AI companion, Bagley, provides assistance and guidance after each episode.
While the Watch Dogs franchise's arrival on mobile platforms is unconventional, this audio adventure format offers a unique take on the series. It's a surprising move, considering the franchise's age and the relatively low-key marketing of this release. The success of Watch Dogs: Truth will be an interesting test of the audio adventure format's appeal within a major gaming franchise. The game's reception will undoubtedly be closely monitored by both fans and industry observers.
