An upcomingA game by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montreal]], ''Watch Dogs'' was announced at [[E 3|E3 2012]]. The story is set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] in a [[The Windy City|Chicago]] run by [[Mega Corp|MegaCorps]] and the "Central Operating System", a massive software that [[Big Brother Is Watching|monitors and manages all aspects of city life]] akin to a computer operating system. You play as Aiden Pierce, a rebellious hacker out to fight the system. The game will also feature a [[Co-Op Multiplayer|Co-Op Mode]]: the E3 demo briefly showed a second [[Player Character]] (nicknamed Bixxel_44) covering Pierce from the rooftops.
 
The gameplay shown so far looks [[X Meets Y|like a mix of]] ''[[Deus Ex]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]]''. The demo was run on a PC but the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] versions have also been announced. There is no confirmed release date yet.
