Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-centric third-person shooters, is finally branching out to mobile devices! However, it's not quite the mobile game you might anticipate. Instead of a full-fledged mobile port, Ubisoft has launched Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure on Audible.
Players shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that direct Dedsec's actions. This choose-your-own-adventure style, harkening back to a classic format, places Dedsec in a near-future London, battling a new threat with the help of the AI, Bagley.
Surprisingly, the Watch Dogs franchise and Clash of Clans share a similar age. This audio adventure marks a unique mobile debut for the series, and while the marketing has been relatively low-key, the concept itself holds potential. The unconventional approach of Watch Dogs: Truth raises questions about the franchise's overall strategy, but it will be interesting to see how this audio adventure performs. The reception of Watch Dogs: Truth will undoubtedly be a key indicator of the future direction of the franchise's mobile presence.
