Watch Dogs: Truth Now Available for Mobile Platforms

Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Audible is releasing Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure.

Players will shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide DedSec's actions against a new threat in a near-future London setting. The familiar AI companion, Bagley, will offer guidance after each episode. This choose-your-own-adventure style harkens back to a much older form of interactive storytelling.

This unique mobile debut for Watch Dogs is surprising, especially considering the franchise's age, roughly comparable to that of Clash of Clans. While the audio adventure format might seem unconventional, it offers an intriguing new way to experience the Watch Dogs universe. The limited marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is noteworthy, and its success will be closely monitored. The game's reception will be a key indicator of the viability of this approach for major franchises.
