Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is finally branching out to mobile devices—sort of. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Audible is now hosting Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure. Players shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide DedSec's actions.
While not a full-fledged mobile game like its console counterparts, Watch Dogs: Truth offers a unique interactive experience reminiscent of classic choose-your-own-adventure books. Set in a near-future London, the story follows DedSec as they confront a new threat, aided by the AI companion, Bagley. Bagley guides players' decisions after each episode.
The arrival of Watch Dogs on mobile, even in this unconventional format, is noteworthy. It's surprising, considering the franchise's age, comparable to that of Clash of Clans. While the mobile debut is unique, the concept of an audio adventure holds potential, especially with a major franchise like Watch Dogs.
The somewhat limited marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth highlights the franchise's unconventional approach. However, the reception of this audio adventure will be closely monitored to gauge its success and influence future mobile ventures for the Watch Dogs series.
