The latest update on Ubisoft's open world action-adventure video "Watch Dogs" is that its successor, "Watch Dogs 2", may finally have a release date.
According to IB Times, Watch Dogs 2 will be unveiled in 2016 to be made available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Reports have also claimed that nine locations will be featured in the upcoming game, including Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai, Beijing, New York, Silicon City, San Francisco, and London.
Moreover, it was also said that Ubisoft will be incorporating a couple of changes in "Watch Dogs 2" to address gamers' complaints that its predecessor lacked dynamic attributes, including weapons, activities, and gameplay features.
The company's developers may have also dropped hints that stronger destructive weapons, along with improved graphics, new activities and side-missions, and more places to explore are coming to "Watch Dogs 2," making it an ideal competitor for "GTA V."
A new villain has also been rumored to turn up in the upcoming game, prompting gaming fans to question whether hacker protagonist Aiden Pearce will still be appearing in "Watch Dogs 2."
"We knew it would be polarizing; some people loved the characters and some didn't," commented Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in an interview with CVG. "It was difficult to please everybody with that character. Now, having seen the reaction, we know what we will do next to improve that."
However, rumors have sparked up the latest buzz that Raymond "T-Bone" Kenney will be the latest villain to take the place of Aiden Pearce in the upcoming sequel. T-Bone had been one of the first game's main characters, and he played an important role in Aiden's journey. T-Bone is also expected to be featured as the main character in the "Watch Dogs: Bad Blood" DLC to be unveiled on Sept. 30.
The first game in the Watch Dogs lineup has already been released worldwide last May for PS 3, PS 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows, and has been slotted for a Wii U release on Nov. 18 in North America and Nov. 21 in Europe.
