Anything connected to the city’s CTOS can become your weapon. Narrowly escape capture by quickly raising a drawbridge. Stop a train, and then board it to evade the authorities. Trap your enemy in a 30-car pileup by manipulating the traffic lights. Watch_Dogs takes place in a fully simulated living city where, using your smartphone, you have real-time control over the city’s infrastructure. Use the city of Chicago as your ultimate weapon and exact your own style of revenge. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy…and more. 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. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. 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. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow.

We find out what’s happening in the world.
