As the Wait for Watch Dogs 4 Continues, Official Watch Dogs Audible Interactive Audio Experience Continues the Story

ign.com:

Audible has released its first interactive audio experience: Watch Dogs: Truth.

The collaboration with Ubisoft lets listeners make decisions at the end of each episode, shaping the fate of the characters and the resistance’s success.

Story wise, Watch Dogs: Truth is set after the events of 2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion, the third and so far last game in Ubisoft’s open-world hacking action adventure series. Having cleared their names and saved the city during the Zero Day Affair, DedSec continues its mission to expose the truth. The self-aware AI Bagley (Pascal Langdale) returns from Legion to act as a guide for listeners as the characters navigate a city under siege by disinformation and the cyber intelligence force SIRS.

Here’s the official blurb:

This isn’t the first Ubisoft Audible release - it follows Assassin’s Creed Gold, The Division: Hearts on Fire, and Far Cry Rise of the Revolution starring Giancarlo Esposito. But it does rekindle memories of a seemingly dormant franchise, with Ubisoft yet to announce a fourth mainline game in the four years following the release of Legion.

What is in the works, however, is a Watch Dogs movie, which suggests Ubisoft hasn’t quite given up on the IP. Watch Dogs started shooting in the summer more than a decade after it was announced, directed by The Deep Dark and Meander’s Mathieu Turi and starring Tom Blyth and Sophie Wilde.

Watch Dogs exploded into the gaming world with the original Watch Dogs in 2014. The first instalment in Ubisoft’s tech-centered franchise told the story of Aiden Pearce, a hacker with the ability to manipulate technology in the environment around him. A sequel located in San Francisco was released in 2016, but the franchise most recently delivered a London-set entry with Watch Dogs: Legion.
