In an era where multiplatform games are becoming much more frequent, the war between consoles is often not about who has the best exclusives but who has the best bonus content within their games. While I do disagree with delayed content releases or content omissions if there is a season pass involved, anything else in my opinion is completely fair.
Ubisoft and Sony Computer Entertainment have today announced that they are working on bringing something a little bit special for those who purchase Watch_Dogs on either the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. This additional content will consist of four extra missions, representing one hour of exclusive gameplay, as well as a unique ‘White Hat’ Hacker Outfit. By playing this additional content, players will have a deeper knowledge of DedSec, a key and powerful faction in the Watch Dogs universe. Once complete, a Hacking Boost named Superior Capacity is acquired which gives players one additional Battery Slot.
The scenario takes place after Aiden Pearce, the vigilante hero of Watch Dogs, catches the eye of DedSec, a notorious hacker group fighting for freedom and security in the digital age. Aiden receives an encoded message asking him to help some members of this organisation who want payback. Pearce must use his knowledge of Chicago’s complex ctOS network to discover digital vulnerabilities in Umeni Technologies’ security network and earn his reward.
While Watch_Dogs was supposed to be launched in November 2013, delays have meant that the game will now be available for purchase on the 27th May 2014. Currently only the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox360, Xbox One and Windows PC platforms are covered by this release date, while the planned Wii U edition has an undermined release schedule.
