Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs: Hack the City, Wield It as a Weapon

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. In the hyper-connected, modern-day city of Chicago, everyone and everything is linked to a central operating system known as ctOS. You are Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now, you’re on the hunt for those who hurt your family, and you will use the entire city as your weapon.

Watch Dogs takes place in a fully simulated, living open world where, using your smartphone, you have real-time control over the city’s infrastructure. In your quest for revenge, anything connected to the ctOS can become your tool… or your downfall.

The City is Your Weapon

Turn Chicago into the ultimate instrument of revenge.

• Manipulate the Grid: Trap your enemies in a 30-car pileup by hacking traffic lights. Stop a train to escape the authorities, or raise a drawbridge to cut off a pursuit.
• Control Public Systems: Access omnipresent security cameras, tap into public transportation, and overload transformers to cause massive blackouts.
• Invade Privacy: Hack into the lives of those around you. Download personal information to locate a target, access private conversations, or empty a civilian’s bank account to fund your mission.

Street Justice

In a city where violence is often met with violence, you have the skills to take the fight to the streets.

• Brutal Combat: Deliver devastating blows with your collapsible baton in visceral takedowns, or engage in intense shootouts with a physics simulation that rivals the best in the shooter genre.
• Blend Hacking & Combat: Use a combination of shooting, stealth, and hacking to gain the advantage. Disable enemy comms to stop them from calling for backup, or distract a guard by hacking their phone.
• High-Octane Driving: Get behind the wheel of more than 65 vehicles, each with state-of-the-art physics. Burn rubber through the city streets as you evade police or chase down a target.
