About This Game

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.
