'Watch Dogs' (ALL) Gets Exclusive PS3/PS4 Content - Trailer

Watch Dogs is an open-world action-adventure in which players enter the dangerous world of Aiden Pearce, a new class of antihero whose ability to hack into any connected system could be his most powerful weapon.

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.

Ubisoft revealed today that Watch_Dogs on PS3/PS4 will include 60 minutes of additional gameplay.

In four all-new mission exclusive to PS4 and PS3, Hacktivist group DedSec taps Aiden to help set the record straight and expose a company’s deceitful activities. More precisely, they need Aiden’s skills, connections, and his ability to hack into Chicago’s complex central operating system (ctOS) to track down enemies and expose them for who they really are. He’s just the man for the job.

Once complete you will receive additional tech points and a white hat hacker outfit.

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.
