About Watch_Dogs™

Watch_Dogs unfolds in a hyper-connected Chicago that operates under CTOS, presented as the most advanced computer network in America. You step into the role of Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug whose criminal past has led to a violent family tragedy. Now, in a city run by technology, that same technology becomes his instrument of revenge as he moves through an urban landscape where every connected system is a potential weapon.

The defining feature of this action adventure is the ability to hack and manipulate the city's infrastructure at will. You can stop traffic lights, detonate gas lines, cut off the electrical grid, and much more, bending Chicago's networks to your purpose as you pursue those responsible for the tragedy that set you on this path. The city itself becomes the ultimate weapon in the hands of a man bent on retribution. Combining open-world action with a hacking-driven approach to combat, stealth, and traversal, Watch_Dogs offers PC players a vision of surveillance-era Chicago where control over technology translates directly into power, and Aiden's quest for vengeance drives the entire experience forward.
