Ubisoft has announced that WATCH_DOGS 2 will be available worldwide on November 15th. WATCH_DOGS 2 is described as the product of over two years of intensive development by the original creative team behind the Watch Dogs brand.

WATCH_DOGS 2 promises to offer a fictional environment linked to challenges players can relate to, while offering high-quality entertainment as they explore the San Francisco Bay Area with Marcus Holloway.

Watch the first-ever look into the new Watch_Dogs 2. Set in the birthplace of the tech revolution, the San Francisco Bay Area, Watch_Dogs 2 explores a new reality where an interconnected city and network of personal devices are used to control and manipulate citizens on a unprecedented scale. Step into the shoes of a brilliant hacker, Marcus Holloway, and hack everything on your way to shutting down the establishment behind this massive corruption.

Players enter a massive and dynamic open world environment set in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is the latest city to adopt ctOS 2.0, an advanced operating system networking the city infrastructure, and in the wrong hands, ctOS 2.0 can be used to invasively control and manipulate everyday citizens. Watch_Dogs 2 is an open world action-adventure game where the San Francisco Bay Area is your living playground and hacking is your weapon to bend the city – and its people – to your will. Step into the shoes of Marcus Holloway, a brilliant hacker, and journey to pull off the Hack of the Century: a crippling shutdown of ctOS 2.0, an invasive technology used by the powerful to silently control everyday citizens. Watch_Dogs 2 will be available on PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One, and Windows PC on November 15, 2016.

Seems like Ubi is learning. It's a CINEMATIC trailer. A years ago this would have been a gameplay trailer.
Luckily they showed off actual gameplay yesterday. Aint no downgrade coming this time around. Graphics are already kinda low.

As we know from past Ubi$hit performances yesterday "real" gameplay and release November 15th gameplay will share a little more than the game name.

Based on that this is my personal preview of the next months game "optimizations" for PC version ...

Time to be let down again. Made the mistake of pre-ordering Watch Dogs 1, won't make the same mistake again. Been burned too many times by Ubisoft (lol Rainbow Six Siege)

Summary of the story in Watch Dogs 2:
Attempt to steal $5 from yakuza and fail during a hack of known yakuza owned bank/hotel/whatever.
Have relative killed.
Investigate everything but the yakuza while doing absurd things like killing random gangs, dismantling their advanced computer networks, and stuff.
Follow long winding and ridiculous path that leads to the yakuza after every other criminal element in town is dead and only investigate them because everyone else is dead.
Get told by yakuza boss that trying to steal from them was a mistake.
OH MY GOSH IT WAS THE YAKUZA BEHIND IT ALL!!!!

We'll only have to wait a few months after the planned release date to get this great experience with a heaping helping of bugs and memory issues :nerd:

.

I'm surprised they're doing a second game after the mess that was the first.

Here comes the downgrades..
I recommend not pre-ordering stuff from ubi anymore until you see a review of the game.

It's people like you why these games turn out like crap. When you pre-order a game because of a trailer or just simply the name, you're telling the developers that what they've already done is good enough and that you're willing to pay for a product regardless of it's level of completion or refinement. This is why the Assassins Creed series is mediocre yet won't die.

Ubisoft isn't a small or struggling independent company. They don't need immediate funding to keep this going. Pre-ordering games from such companies encourages them to be lazy. Not only that, but you're probably not going to get a physical copy.

Besides, what do you get out pre-ordering? A couple days worth of early access? What difference does that make, when you will inevitably need day-zero patches anyway?
