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

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its third-person shooter gameplay and hacking mechanics, is branching out—to Audible! Instead of a traditional mobile game, Watch Dogs: Truth offers an interactive audio adventure.

Players guide DedSec's actions through a series of choices, shaping the narrative unfold in a near-future London setting. The familiar AI companion, Bagley, provides guidance and support throughout the episodic experience.

This format, reminiscent of classic choose-your-own-adventure books, presents a unique take on the Watch Dogs universe. The story centers on DedSec's confrontation with a new threat.

Interestingly, this mobile debut comes surprisingly late in the franchise's lifespan, a fact highlighted by its similar age to Clash of Clans. While the approach is unconventional, the potential of an audio adventure format, especially with a major franchise like Watch Dogs, is intriguing. The relatively low-key marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is noteworthy, making its reception all the more critical for the future of the series' mobile presence. The success of this audio adventure will undoubtedly inform Ubisoft's future mobile strategies for the Watch Dogs IP.
