Watchdogs- Ubisoft's next big venture

Watch Dogs is an upcoming open world action - adventure video game, developed and published by Ubisoft on Windows, PS3, PS4, Wii U and the Xbox 360. Watch Dogs centers on the player's ability to hack into various electronic systems, either to obtain and control information or to destroy those devices completely at specific times. The game was first unveiled during Ubisoft's press conference at E3 2013.



The storyline of Watch Dogs game is built around the concept of information warfare, data being interconnected, and the world's increasing use of technology—questioning who exactly runs the computers they depend on. The game is set in an alternate reality version of Chicago, Illinois, which is one of many cities to feature a supercomputer known as a "CtOS" (Central Operating System). The system controls almost every piece of technology in the city, and contains information on all of the city's residents and activities which can be used for various purposes. In the game's universe, the Northeast Black out of 2003 was found to be caused by a hacker, prompting the development of CtOS. The game will follow an anti- hero named Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled hacker described as a person who uses both "fists and wits." The gameplay demo shown at E3 depicted Aiden's attempt to assassinate a media mogul named Joseph DeMarco, who had been wrongly acquitted on charges of murder.The game features an elusive online multiplayer element in which another player can control surveillance cameras in an attempt to hack the main player. 

I believe this game is gonna be the next big thing by Ubisoft.
