Set in the bay area of San Francisco, Watch Dogs 2 introduces a brand new protagonist in the shape of Marcus Holloway, a seasoned hacker and a member of the notorious group, DedSec.
Players follow Holloway as he attempts to shut down ctOS 2.0 for good after being accused of a crime he did not commit, with gamers thrust into a rich open-world ripe with mass hacking opportunities.
