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 anticipate. Instead of a full-fledged mobile port, Ubisoft has released Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure available on Audible.
Players guide the narrative by making crucial decisions that shape Dedsec's next move against a new threat in a near-future London. The familiar AI, Bagley, offers assistance in navigating these choices after each episode. This choose-your-own-adventure format, harkening back to a classic style of interactive storytelling, offers a unique take on the Watch Dogs experience.
Interestingly, Watch Dogs and Clash of Clans share a similar age, making this mobile debut a somewhat surprising yet intriguing development. While the audio adventure format might seem unconventional, it presents an opportunity to explore the Watch Dogs universe in a fresh and innovative way. The relatively low-key marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is noteworthy, prompting curiosity about its reception amongst players. It will be interesting to see how this unique approach resonates with the gaming community.
