Watch Dogs out this holiday season for 'all home consoles'

**Blacksite** · 02-15-2013

Watch Dogs, the impressive-looking game that stole the show at last year's E3, will be out this holiday for "all home consoles," according to leaked marketing materials received by Kotaku today.

Check the images below to see both the front and back of the marketing materials, which mention a quote from G4 about the game being a "truly next-gen adventure."

All home consoles. Truly next-gen adventure. Could publisher Ubisoft perhaps be hinting at something? As most people predicted last year when the French publisher showed Watch Dogs in action, this is indeed a next-gen game.

Ubisoft has already confirmed that the stunning open-world game—a cyberpunky adventure that involves a lot of computers—will be coming to PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Now it's become clear that it will also be on the next Xbox and PlayStation, which have not yet been announced but are expected this holiday season.

But will Watch Dogs also be out on Wii U? Ouya? Shield? "All home consoles" could mean a lot of things.

We've also recently heard that Watch Dogs was originally a Driver game. We've asked Ubisoft for comment both on that and the console situation, and we'll update should we hear back.

UPDATE: Ubisoft has responded, and while they won't comment on consoles or release dates, Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key said in a statement: "Ubisoft is pleased with the response for Watch Dogs from media and fans. The game is an original IP that has been created from the ground up at Ubisoft Montreal with inspiration from many titles and ideas the studio has worked on throughout the years."

Awesome news... I will be getting my bro to get this and play it on his 360, since mine is broke at the moment

Awesome one of my anticipated!

good to hear, this game is going to be amazing

**ps3freak18** · 02-15-2013

Well looks like the new consoles are both coming out this year. It was kind of already assumed though. Hell yeah! Bring on Watch Dogs. This could be a GOTY candidate. Man this is going to be one epic year for gaming!

Best of both worlds.

I'll probs just get the next-gen version that will undoubtedly be better.

Same as what happened for the 360 on launch, a bunch of games came out on both.. We will probably see that for the first 6 months of the PS4/720s life.

I think the PC version is a good indicator of what the game would look like on next-gen consoles. For an open world game, it looks impressive.

That looks sick!!! Can't wait.

**YoungMullah88** · 02-15-2013

Next Gen for me

Sent from my Note II

**claud3** · 02-15-2013

The only thing is the look, we all can assume that the one we seen at E3 last year. Is next-gen game footage and not current gen footage

Or have they pushed the limits of both consoles

Yeah, i expect a scaled back version for PS360

**Syphon_Filter** · 02-15-2013

That is going to be one of my PS4 games loool.

**claud3** · 02-15-2013

I can not wait to get nto the hacking and just exploring

**Two4DaMoney** · 02-16-2013

I'm not sold on this game yet. The only thing that impressed me was the graphics. I need to see more

Open world game with amazing graphics is all I need to know. Plus Ubisoft is making it. They haven't disappointed me too much this gen. They have been a juggernaut.

**claud3** · 02-16-2013

I know for certain you have to learn to heck certain things... But i feel this will be awesomely done and not a drain on the brain or way to much time consuming

**CrucesTech** · 02-18-2013

I doubt this will be for ps3 or xbox. What you see is the PC version of game or next gen console.

**DreDayDetox** · 02-18-2013

Awesome news! I've been watching this game for some time. I was definitely moved by the tech demo at E3. Looks too legit..to quit.

**TDbank24** · 02-18-2013

Awesome news. I can't wait to pick up Watch Dogs for the PS3. This game looks amazing.

**Beardy** · 02-19-2013

Good to hear. I've been looking forward to getting this game for a long time now!

**Sir_Scud** · 02-20-2013

Wow, didn't see this thread before. This is awesome news! Ever since that awesome E3 reveal I have been curious to see what this game is all about. Definitely looks like something I will pick up.

**Felix336** · 02-20-2013

The thing I'm actually the most curious about is how accurate it'll be to Chicago, and how much of it they'll let you explore. It would be pretty cool to get to see places/things I recognize in a game for once, especially if it looks as good as the footage we've seen.
