AFTER BREAKING GROUND ON HACKING, THE
FRANCHISE ENTERS THE BIRTHPLACE OF TECH

LONDON, UK — June 8, 2016 — Today, Ubisoft® announced that
Watch Dogs® 2, the newest installment in the blockbuster

WATCH_DOGS franchise, will be available worldwide on November
15 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One
and Windows PC.

WATCH_DOGS 2 is the product of over two years of intensive
development by the original creative team behind the Watch Dogs
brand. The topics of data security and privacy as well as and hacking
are more current than ever in today’s society, and the Watch Dogs
brand has been exploring these themes ever since the release of the
first opus in 2014. WATCH_DOGS 2 offers a fictional environment
linked to challenges players can relate to, while offering high-quality
entertainment as they explore the San Francisco Bay Area with
Marcus Holloway.

Players enter a massive and dynamic open world environment set in
the San Francisco Bay Area. It is the latest city to adopt ctOS 2.0, an
advanced operating system networking the city infrastructure, and in
the wrong hands, ctOS 2.0 can be used to invasively control and
manipulate everyday citizens.

Players will explore the birthplace of the tech revolution as Marcus
Holloway, a brilliant young hacker who has fallen victim to ctOS 2.0’s
predictive algorithms and is accused of a crime he did not commit. In
Marcus’ quest to shut down ctOS 2.0 for good, hacking is the ultimate
weapon, and players can not only hack into the city’s infrastructure
but also every person and any connected device they possess to
trigger unpredictable chains of events. With the ability to take control
of drones, cars, cranes, security robots, and much more at their
disposal, players can choose whether to use stealth hacking to
complete missions without killing a single enemy or go guns blazing
for a more ferocious approach. In this vast open world, players can
hack their way through traffic while engaging in dangerous car chases
through the winding streets of San Francisco, traverse the rooftops
of the vibrant neighborhoods of Oakland, and infiltrate the offices of
cutting-edge companies in Silicon Valley.

“Our creative team is working hard to deliver an outstanding
WATCH_DOGS experience,” said Dominic Guay, senior producer,
Ubisoft Montreal. “In WATCH_DOGS 2, we’re excited to give players
a captivating storyline with engaging characters that offers deeper,
more meaningful hacking options, a greater variety of gadgets and
weapons, and a brand new seamless multiplayer experience that will
appeal to fans of the original WATCH_DOGS as well as players new
to the brand.”
