Actual Watch Dogs gameplay has been a mystery ever since Ubisoft announced the game back in 2013, but now thanks to some hands-on game time for several gaming news reporters across the internet, we can learn the details from people who have actually played it.
Ubisoft is hoping gamers haven't given up on this game since the Watch Dogs release date was initially announced as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, they had postponed the Watch Dogs PS4 and Xbone release in order to polish the game to their expectations.
The wait to experience Watch Dogs gameplay is almost here, and details surrounding the in-game skill trees have revealed Ubisoft's anticipated title to be much more than just wandering around a futuristic Chicago and hacking everything into oblivion.
The four skill trees in the game are crafting, combat, driving, and hacking (of course). The first of these is one we weren't expecting, and it is further explained below.
Crafting – one of the smallest of the skill trees, it includes a Focus Boost, a couple of types of Frag Grenades, and the ability to Jam Coms.
Some of the upgrades here include Car Unlock (which lets you steal cars without setting off alarms), reducing the damage you take from collisions, and the ability to hide in a car to evade helicopters. Many of these upgrades are similar enough that they're not worth listing individually.
Hacking – of course this is what you knew about since the game was announced, and was touted as the core of Watch Dogs gameplay.
The different things you can learn to hack include traffic lights, bridges, gates, steam pipes, helicopters, blockers, and road spikes. That's just the road parts. You can also hack building utilities, causing explosions and cutting off the enemy's ability to call for help.
With all of these skill trees you can work with, you now have a broader understanding of what the Watch Dogs gameplay will be like when the release date hits this Summer.
