"Watch Dogs 2" Details, Release Date
In "Watch Dogs 2," players will play as Macrus Holloway who, Corre says, is charismatic and much younger than Aiden Pearce, Attack of the Fanboy noted. Also, instead of Chicago, the game will take place in the much bigger setting of San Francisco.
Game director Jonathan Morin had the idea to change the hero and setting when he visited the actual place in San Francisco, California. Morin and the "Watch Dogs" team met with Silicon Valley companies and the idea of a younger hacker came into fruition, PC GamesN reported.
To give a bit of a background for "Watch Dogs 2," Marcus was born in San Francisco but grew up in Oakland. The ctOS security surveillance wrongfully profiled him to be part of some crimes he had no knowledge in. As he grew up, Marcus decided to join DedSec, a hacktivist group.
The plot moves when DedSec wants to expose San Francisco's big wigs and powerful individuals. In order to do that, they will need to gather equipment to give their hacking more success. Morin explains that "Watch Dogs 2" will shine light to the existing dichotomy in the story especially with DedSec members and their shared goals.
More will be revealed when "Watch Dogs 2" comes out globally on November 15 later this year.
