Watch Dogs: Truth lets you play the Ubisoft series on mobile (sort of)

Ubisoft's popular hacker-themed series, Watch Dogs, is finally branching out to mobile devices! However, it's not quite the mobile game you might anticipate. Instead of a traditional mobile port, Ubisoft has launched Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure on Audible.

Players navigate the narrative by making pivotal choices that shape Dedsec's next move. This choose-your-own-adventure format, harking back to a classic storytelling style, drops players into a near-future London where Dedsec confronts a new threat, guided by the AI, Bagley.

This unique approach to mobile gaming is surprising, considering the Watch Dogs franchise's age, roughly comparable to that of Clash of Clans. While the mobile debut is unconventional, the interactive audio adventure format holds potential, especially with a well-known franchise like Watch Dogs. The relatively low-key marketing is noteworthy, making the success of Watch Dogs: Truth particularly intriguing. Its reception will be a key indicator of the viability of this approach for future mobile releases.
