Ubisoft talks Watch_Dogs multiplayer, releases box art and screens

 
Watch Dogs will also feature a multiplayer portion which is all about hyperconnectivity. Take a look at the official box art right now.





Creative director Jonathan Morin talked about the online connectivity in the multiplayer mode. “Watch Dogs is all about hyperconnectivity. To me, that has to mean all the time and anywhere. So yes, other people are out there all the time, when you don’t expect it. Whether you’re playing single-player or multiplayer, it’s happening. You’re saying asynchronous but it’s much more real-time than that…”

“We’ll let players do pretty much what they want on those terms. And I think that what’s interesting is that since we’re creating a fantasy that you can progressively control all of Chicago and monitor everything… if you can do that… you need to ask yourself if Aiden Pearce can do all of this, can anybody else out there do the same thing? And the answer is absolutely yes.”
