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

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-themed 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, aided by the AI, Bagley.

While this audio adventure format is unconventional, it offers an intriguing twist. The relatively low-key marketing campaign is also curious.

This new approach to the Watch Dogs universe presents a unique opportunity. The success of Watch Dogs: Truth will be closely monitored to gauge its reception among players. The experiment is certainly worth watching, and its reception will likely influence future mobile endeavors from Ubisoft.
