First Watch Dogs Gameplay Series video showcases the possibilities of hacking

Ubisoft kicks off its Watch Dogs Gameplay Series videos with a look at arguably the most powerful weapon in the game: hacking.

As seen in the video, hacking in Watch Dogs opens up a range of possibilities for how a player approaches missions. Hack computers, smartphones, and Chicago’s own central system to gain intel, create cover in a firefight, decrease your presence for stealthy movement, and more.

Hopefully Watch Dogs’ hacking lives up the promise of creating an amazing, unique sandbox gaming experience. We voted it as the overall Best Game of E3 2013 in fact. The game will be out for PlayStation 3 on November 19 in North America and November 22 for Europe. The definitive PlayStation 4 version will be released during the fourth quarter.
