The upcoming sequel of the video game series "Watch Dogs" has gotten both its fans and creator excited for its release three months from now.
As reported by both Game Spot and Playstation Lifestyle, the new video game "Watch Dogs 2" will be launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Nov. 15.
The new game will reportedly be set in San Francisco, California—a significant change from the original "Watch Dogs" which was set in Chicago. The new protagonist for this videogame is Marcus Holloway, an African-American from across the Bay in Oakland.
According to Playstation Lifestyle, the game's creator, Ubisoft, recently released a video to give gamers a feel of the universe of "Watch Dogs 2." Unsurprisingly, the video also introduces gamers to Marcus, his hacker group called "DeadSec," and his closest friends.
The website further reported that the main protagonist of "Watch Dogs 2" will recruit his close pals—namely Wrench, Sitara and Josh—to fight injustices brought by big corporations in the Bay Area.
"Watch Dogs 2" scriptwriter Lucien Solban told Playstation Lifestyle that Marcus will be very fun to play with, given his hacker background. He also hinted that the new video game's big baddie will be named Aiden Pearce, from whom Marcus wants to exact revenge, without giving further details.
In a related news, Ubisoft's chief operating officer, Yves Guillemot, is pinning his hopes on the commercial success of the "Watch Dogs" sequel.
As reported by Gamespot, Guillemot expects "Watch Dogs 2" to become one of Ubisoft's top games in its 30-year history.
"Watch Dogs 2" has the potential to be one of Ubisoft's best-selling games of all time," Guillemot said, as quoted by Gamespot.
His high hopes stem from what he described as the "more seamless" online functionality of "Watch Dogs 2." He also said that the game has "engaging" characters and a "relevant" storyline.
