Ubisoft held a massive reveal presentation focusing on nearly every aspect of the upcoming Watchdogs 2.
The game is confirmed to take place in San Francisco, but will feature many distinct areas representing the whole Bay area.
The developers have placed a heavy emphasis on a living, breathing world – one that can exist without making you the centre of attention.
Players take control of an entirely new protagonist, Marcus Holloway, who is a member of the hacking crew Dedsec.
While it is clear that these new story elements will focus on anarchy (not unlike the popular Mr Robot), the developers were quick to point out that DedSec “are still capable of having fun”.
Hacking, stealth, driving, and gunplay all return, but each mechanic has been greatly improved. You can now not only hack into people and company’s personal details, but entire cars which you can control remotely.
The driving experience has been improved with a new physics system.
Marcus will make use of a number of traditional and homemade weapons, including 3D-printed guns and a vicious billiard ball attached to a length of rope.
A demo will be present at E3, so expect more details to follow shortly. The game is confirmed to release on 15 November 2016 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
