Watch Dogs: Truth lets you play the Ubisoft series on mobile (sort of)

Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's acclaimed series of hacker-centric third-person shooters, is venturing into the mobile realm! While not a traditional mobile game, a new interactive audio adventure, Watch Dogs: Truth, has launched on Audible. This unique experience lets you shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide Dedsec's next move.

Ubisoft's enduring franchise, Watch Dogs, continues to expand, albeit in an unexpected way. Watch Dogs: Truth isn't a mobile port of the main series, but rather an audio adventure, a format harkening back to the classic choose-your-own-adventure books. Set in a near-future London, the story follows Dedsec as they battle a new threat, aided by the self-aware AI, Bagley, who assists with decision-making after each episode.

Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise and Clash of Clans share a surprisingly similar age. This makes the series' relatively late arrival on mobile, even in this unique format, somewhat noteworthy. However, the concept of an audio adventure, while retro, holds considerable appeal. It's exciting to see a major franchise like Watch Dogs explore this interactive storytelling medium.

The unconventional approach and comparatively low-key marketing of Watch Dogs: Truth are intriguing. It highlights the series' somewhat eclectic trajectory. Nonetheless, the reception of this audio adventure will be closely watched, as it represents a bold experiment in mobile gaming for the Watch Dogs franchise.
