Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.
The Watch Dogs series, a mainstay in Ubisoft's lineup of third-person shooters, is branching out in an unexpected way. Watch Dogs: Truth is not a full mobile game but an audio adventure, a classic interactive storytelling format. Players shape the narrative through their choices, guiding Dedsec's actions against a new threat in a near-future London setting. The AI Bagley assists players in making decisions after each episode.

This unique approach to mobile gaming is surprising, considering the Watch Dogs franchise's age (roughly equivalent to Clash of Clans!). While the mobile debut is unconventional, the concept of an audio adventure holds potential, especially with a major franchise like Watch Dogs. The relatively low-key marketing is noteworthy, raising questions about Ubisoft's strategy. Ultimately, the success of Watch Dogs: Truth will depend on player reception. We'll be watching closely to see how this experiment fares.
