Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is branching out—to Audible! Forget a traditional mobile game; instead, a new interactive audio adventure, Watch Dogs: Truth, offers a unique mobile experience.
Players guide Dedsec's actions through pivotal choices, shaping the narrative as the story unfolds in a near-future London. The familiar AI companion, Bagley, provides assistance in decision-making after each episode.
This choose-your-own-adventure format, reminiscent of classic interactive fiction, presents a fresh take on the Watch Dogs universe. The game finds Dedsec once again at odds with authorities, facing a new threat.

Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise and Clash of Clans share a similar age. This mobile debut, while unconventional, is intriguing. The audio adventure format, while not new, offers potential, especially for a major franchise like Watch Dogs.
The somewhat low-key marketing for Watch Dogs: Truth highlights the franchise's somewhat inconsistent approach. However, its success will depend on player reception, making it a title worth watching.
