But by dragging on the screen, you cast a shadow behind you. Every call is a digital fingerprint that allows you to track your every move, important event, what you like and what you don't like. It's not just about people. Nowadays, every major city is connected to the grid. The city's infrastructure is monitored and controlled by complex operating systems. In Watch_Dogs, such a system is called CTOS - Central Operating System and controls almost every element of the city's technology. It is the key to information about all its inhabitants. Take on the role of Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and ex-criminal whose criminal past has led to a family tragedy. Now you need to find those who have hurt your loved ones, and you will do this by monitoring and hacking into the systems around you. You will manipulate everything that has been connected to the city network. Access all-seeing surveillance cameras, retrieve personal information to locate your target, control traffic lights and public transport to stop enemies... and more. The city of Chicago is your weapon. Decide for yourself how you will take revenge. FEATURES HACK URBAN SYSTEMS The action Watch_Dogs takes place in a bustling city where you have real-time control over the infrastructure using your smartphone. Trap an enemy in a carom for 30 cars by manipulating traffic lights. Stop the train and then get on it to avoid justice. Protect yourself from capture by lifting the drawbridge at the last minute. Anything connected to the CTOS system can become a weapon. STREET JUSTICE IN CHICAGO The best way to deal with violence is violence, and you have enough skills to fight in the streets. Knock down your enemies with powerful blows from a police baton, or engage in unique exchanges of fire that rival the latest shooters in terms of realism and physics. Shoot and hack systems to gain an advantage in any situation. The streets were designed in such a way that they could create their own plan of attack. In total, you will gain access to more than 30 types of traditional weapons.
