Watch Dogs: Truth lets you play the Ubisoft series on mobile (sort of)

Ubisoft's hacking-focused Watch Dogs series is branching out—to mobile! But not in the way you might think. Instead of a full mobile game, Audible has just released Watch Dogs: Truth, an interactive audio adventure.

The Watch Dogs franchise, a staple of Ubisoft's lineup, is expanding its reach with this unique mobile experience. Watch Dogs: Truth isn't a traditional mobile game, but a choose-your-own-adventure style audio story. Available now on Audible, players shape the narrative by making key decisions that guide Dedsec's actions.

This classic interactive format, dating back to the 1930s, places players in the midst of a near-future London conflict. Dedsec, the hacktivist group, faces a new threat, aided by the AI, Bagley, who provides guidance after each episode.

Interestingly, the Watch Dogs franchise and Clash of Clans are roughly the same age. This new mobile foray, albeit unconventional, is a surprising development. While the audio adventure format might seem unusual for a major franchise like Watch Dogs, its potential is intriguing.

The limited marketing for Watch Dogs: Truth highlights the series' somewhat inconsistent approach. However, the success of this audio adventure will be closely watched to see how it connects with players.
