Ubisoft's Watch Dogs franchise, known for its hacker-themed third-person shooters, is expanding to mobile devices! 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 influence 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 companion, Bagley, assists with decision-making after each episode.

The somewhat limited marketing for Watch Dogs: Truth highlights the series' unconventional approach. However, the reception of this audio adventure will be closely monitored to gauge its success and potential impact on the franchise's future.
