Watch_Dogs introduces a world not too removed from our own, a world
where everyone uses the latest gadgets and gear to learn about the world
and connect with friends with a simple swipe of the finger. But with
that same simple swipe, with that same social connection, we leave a
digital shadow that is always growing. An online trail that tracks our
every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it’s not just
people. All major cities are networked, with urban infrastructures
constantly monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.
In
Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (ctOS).
It controls almost every part of the city, from stoplights to
bankvaults, mobile phones to business databases. And it holds key
information on everyone in the city.
This
is where you come in. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and
former thug, whose past led to a violent family tragedy that changed you
forever. Now your skills are no longer for personal, criminal gain –
you'll be using them to hunt down those who hurt your family.
Using
your cyber-skills, you can monitor and hack everyone and everything
that surrounds you by manipulating 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 much, much more. The city of Chicago is your ultimate arsenal
to exact your own style of revenge.
