Watch Dogs

A game by Ubisoft Montreal, Watch Dogs was announced at E3 2012. The story is set Twenty Minutes Into the Future in a Chicago run by MegaCorps and the "Central Operating System", a massive software that monitors and manages all aspects of city life akin to a computer operating system. You play as Aiden Pierce, a rebellious hacker out to fight the system. The game will also feature a Co-Op Mode: the E3 demo briefly showed a second Player Character (nicknamed Bixxel_44) covering Pierce from the rooftops.

The gameplay is presented as like a mix of Deus Ex, Assassin's Creed, and Grand Theft Auto.

A sequel, Watch Dogs 2 follows a branch of DedSec hackers taking on Blume and it takes place in California. This was then followed up by Watch Dogs: Legion, which takes place in a dystopian London in the near future. Unlike the first two games where you play as a pre-defined protagonist, nearly everyone in the game can be controlled by the player, even grandmas.
