The important details for fans to know before purchasing "Watch Dogs 2" have been revealed. The video game's new character is better than the prequel.
According to the official website of the video game, it will be released on Nov. 15 for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. For the PC platform, it will be released on Nov. 29. This release will be the replacement for the absence of the regular release of the "Assassin's Creed" game franchise, which is usually released at this time.
The new character in the game is Marcus Holloway. He will be more skilled in hacking the CtOS compared to the first protagonist Aiden Pearce, and he will join the hacker group to take it down. He is also more athletic compared to Pearce in the first game, which gives players more maneuvers to do.
According to another post on the official website of "Watch Dogs 2," Holloway will be using different types of weapons to defeat his enemies in the game. He will use different types of drones, and robots to help him hack away a variety of objects to his advantage. He can also 3D print different types of guns for any type of situation, and use his Thunderball for melee action.
Holloway will be haunting the streets of San Francisco Bay, which will offer players a variety of gameplay possibilities. In this story setting, the city has recently installed an upgraded version of the CtOS that Chicago had in "Watch Dogs." This new version can control traffic signals, barriers, connects to smartphones, and it is also used for law enforcement.
Players who have played the first game will be surprised with the new hacking abilities this new protagonist has. He can still hack smartphones, just like his predecessor, but he can now hack them in mass to cause a distraction. He can also change records to dispatch police officers as a distraction, and the new CtOS gives him the ability to hijack and remotely steer vehicles.
