"Watch Dogs 2" took the limelight at the ongoing E3 2016. An 11-minute gameplay trailer of it features a new character and more vehicles to drive and more things to hack, which makes it more fun than the original game. Ubisoft, the game developer and publisher, is all prepped up for a worldwide release on Nov. 15.
Ubisoft announced "Watch Dogs 2" days before the big expo started, and the company introduced a new distinguished hacker named Marcus Holloway.
The company said, "We're excited to announce that 'Watch Dogs 2,' the second installment of a series inspired by the hyper-connected reality of our daily lives, will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Nov. 15. You'll play as a new hacker in a fresh, bright setting, with a whole crew to help you out and new tools at your disposal."
They added, "You'll be taking on the role of Marcus Holloway, a brilliant young hacker who's been affected by the injustices he's witnessed from the oppressive ctOS 2.0 system, and as a victim of a crime prediction algorithm that ruined his life."
"Watch Dogs 2" will be featuring a fictionalized version of San Francisco (it was Chicago the last time), where progress is achieved on every action performed. There are also side stories that offer rewards upon completion. Additionally, all vehicles, electronic items and many objects can be hacked, and the game offers multiple ways to do it. Marcus's one principle in life is to hack everything.
A new melee weapon called Thunderball is also available for the main character. It is a billiard ball attached to a bungee cord and players can finish the story mode without firing a single gun. Gamespot reported that according to game director Danny Belanger, one goal of the game is to have fun without using any lethal weapon. However, there are missions that seem impossible not to use a gun on, but it is doable.
During the 11-minute gameplay video that was presented during the E3 2016, fans were able to witness that the company has created a character with much improved acrobatic skills. Marcus can do parkour, which makes running to a new objective much more pleasing.
Several reports have mentioned that the upcoming game is much cooler than the previous one.
"Watch Dogs 2" will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC starting Nov. 15.
