All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and equipment. We discover what is happening in the world. But with the same simple stroke, we cast an ever-expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, all our likes and dislikes. And it’s not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.
In Watch_dogs, this system is called the central operating system (CTOs) – and it controls almost every part of the city’s technology and maintains important information on all the city’s residents.
You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and ex-criminal whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now, in search of those who hurt your family, you will be able to monitor and invade everyone around you by manipulating everything connected to the city’s network. Access ubiquitous security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy… and much more.
Use the city of Chicago as your ultimate weapon and exact your own style of revenge.
