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! However, this isn't a traditional mobile game. Instead, Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure, has launched on Audible.

The Watch Dogs series, a staple of Ubisoft's lineup, continues to evolve. This Audible release marks the franchise's first foray into the mobile market, albeit in an unconventional way. Watch Dogs: Truth isn't a full mobile game but a choose-your-own-adventure style audio experience. Players shape the narrative by making impactful decisions throughout the story.

This classic interactive format, dating back to the 1930s, places players in the shoes of Dedsec, once again facing off against authorities and a new threat in a near-future London setting. The AI companion, Bagley, offers guidance and assists with decision-making after each episode.

The surprising aspect? Watch Dogs and Clash of Clans are roughly the same age. This mobile debut, in such an unusual format, raises some eyebrows. However, the potential of audio adventures is undeniable, and this major franchise's entry into the genre is intriguing.

The somewhat limited marketing for Watch Dogs: Truth highlights the series' unique approach. The reception of this audio adventure will be closely watched to gauge its success and influence future mobile endeavors in the franchise.
