Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Franchise Debuts on Mobile with 'Truth'

Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth is an interactive audio adventure, now available on Audible.

The Watch Dogs series, a mainstay in Ubisoft's lineup, is venturing into a new platform with this unique release. Watch Dogs: Truth isn't a full mobile game like its console and PC counterparts, but a choose-your-own-adventure style audio experience. Players guide Dedsec's actions through their choices, shaping the narrative as they progress.

Set in a near-future London, the story finds Dedsec battling a new threat, aided by the AI companion Bagley. Bagley guides players through decision points after each episode. This format harkens back to the classic choose-your-own-adventure books popularized decades ago.

Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise is roughly the same age as Clash of Clans. This audio adventure marks a surprising, albeit unconventional, mobile debut for the series. While the marketing seems understated, the concept holds potential. The unique approach and relatively low-key launch warrant careful observation of its reception among players. Will this audio adventure resonate with fans? Only time will tell.
