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

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-centric third-person shooters, is branching out—to mobile! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.

Players shape the narrative by making crucial decisions that guide Dedsec's actions. This choose-your-own-adventure style, a format dating back to the 1930s, places players in near-future London as Dedsec confronts a new threat. The AI Bagley assists players in their decision-making process after each episode.

The Watch Dogs franchise's mobile debut in this unique format is surprising, especially considering its age (roughly the same as Clash of Clans). While the concept of audio adventures isn't new, this adaptation of a major franchise is noteworthy. The relatively low-key marketing surrounding Watch Dogs: Truth is also intriguing. The success of this audio adventure will be closely monitored to see how it resonates with players.
