A connected city turned into a weapon through surveillance, systems and control.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Watch Dogs is an open-world action game set in a near-future Chicago, where the city’s infrastructure can be hacked and manipulated in real time. Driving, stealth, combat and systemic hacking combine across missions and the wider world, allowing players to control the environment as well as the character.
