The time is almost upon us. In a few, (though not for the first time due to leaked trailers no less than 12 hours ago) Ubisoft will be livestreaming a preview of Watch_Dogs 2, the unexpected, yet unsurprising next entry in their collection of open-world sandbox games.
Watch_Dogs has a bit of a contentious relationship with the public at large. Highly divisive in its first entry due to hype-filled trailers that oversold the game’s concept, it was nonetheless a competently made open world game, with an undercooked, yet interesting central mechanic in the form of “hacking” into various subsystems strewn about its Chicago setting. Sure, it may have left some players cold by the conclusion, and featured a jarringly unlikable hero at its center, but there’s no denying that the foundation was set for an even better sequel, should they had the courage to try again.
Enter 2016, and we are now moments away from the reveal of their latest chapter. Will it feature actual in-engine gameplay? Will any of the complaints of the fanbase be addressed?
Suppose we’ll find out in just a few minutes..Join us, for we blog live.
Update: Premiere’s up for all to see!
