All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect
with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what’s
happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an
increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital
trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and
dislike. And it’s not just people. Today, all major cities are
networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex
operating systems.
In Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central
Operating System (ctOS) – and it controls almost every piece of the
city’s technology and holds key information on all of the city’s
residents.
You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and
former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now
on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor
and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to
the city’s network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download
personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and
public transportation to stop the enemy…and more.
Use the city of Chicago as your ultimate weapon and exact your own style of revenge.
