Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is finally branching out to mobile devices! However, it's not the mobile game you might expect. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth is an interactive audio adventure, now available on Audible.
Players guide the narrative by making choices throughout the story, shaping Dedsec's actions against a new threat in a near-future London setting. The AI companion, Bagley, provides assistance in decision-making after each episode. This choose-your-own-adventure style harkens back to a classic storytelling format.
The release of Watch Dogs: Truth as an audio adventure is surprising, particularly considering the franchise's age (roughly the same as Clash of Clans!). While the mobile debut is unconventional, the interactive audio format holds potential, especially for a major franchise. The relatively low-key marketing suggests a cautious approach by Ubisoft. The success of Watch Dogs: Truth will undoubtedly be closely monitored.
