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

Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs franchise is expanding to mobile devices, albeit in an unexpected format. Instead of a traditional mobile game, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.

Players guide Dedsec's actions in near-future London by making choices throughout the narrative, steered by the AI companion, Bagley. This choose-your-own-adventure style, harkening back to a much earlier era of interactive storytelling, presents a unique take on the franchise.

The release of Watch Dogs: Truth on mobile is surprising, considering the franchise's age and the relatively low-key marketing. While the concept of an audio adventure might seem unconventional for a major franchise like Watch Dogs, it's an interesting experiment. The reception of this new mobile entry will be closely watched to gauge its success and potential impact on future mobile releases within the series. The unconventional approach raises questions about the franchise's overall direction, but the innovative format offers a fresh perspective on the Watch Dogs universe.
