'Watch Dogs 2' news update 2016: Latest TGS 2016 trailer gives closer look at game's main villain
Ubisoft was one of the participants of the recently concluded Tokyo Game Show 2016, and the game developer company took to opportunity to present the latest trailer for their upcoming game title, "Watch Dogs 2." Previous teasers for the highly anticipated "Watch Dogs" sequel introduced the new lead hero of the series, Marcus Halloway. This time around, the main antagonist of the video game was officially presented.
As reported by Yibada, the Tokyo Game Show 2016 trailer of "Watch Dogs 2" introduced Douchean Nemek, the seemingly outlandish new villain of the sequel. The initial details presented regarding the character reveals that Nemek has been feeding lies and malicious information to the citizens of San Francisco. He is the person behind Bloom and the ctOS 2.0, which serve as tools to let him take over the internet.
Halloway, a well-known talented hacker, has sworn to destroy Nemek by hacking into the villain's web of lies. Together with his friends from DedSec, Halloway will be trying to expose the corruption that was given birth by San Francisco's biggest operating system network. Halloway's hacking skills, backed up by DedSec's technology, will help him hack cell phones, cameras, and even control cars in order to roll out his rebellious plans against Nemek. It will not go that easy for the protagonist, as Nemek has infinite resources in the city that he can use to get rid of Halloway and the entire DedSec. With this, the fans can expect full throttle action not only in fighting bad guys with a gun in the real world but also in hacking various computer systems.
The villain's nefarious acts in the sequel are guided by his twisted moral compass. According to PC Games, Nemek has a dream of improving the society, but he is willing to give up the lives of some innocent people as collateral for the benefit of the rest of the world. Aside from the closer look at the antagonist, the Tokyo Game Show trailer gave the fans more scenic shots at the popular locations in San Francisco, as well as new gameplay stills and bits of the game's brand new soundtrack.
"Watch Dogs 2" will be released on Nov. 15 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platform.
