Many fans were a bit disappointed with the current "Watch Dogs" game. Apparently, the title was considered overrated and did not quite meet the expectations of the fans. With the upcoming release of its sequel, video game observers are hoping that game developer Ubisoft has learned its lessons and will do a better job with "Watch Dogs 2."

The open world action-adventure third-person shooter video game was released in 2014. Right then, fans and critics have already predicted the game developer to work on its second installment. "Watch Dog 2" is already set for release on Nov. 15 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

Ubisoft has revealed that the new title will be a lot more different from the previous one. The company promised that "Watch Dog 2" will come out as a game-changer. Many game observers are saying that Ubisoft is aiming for both commercial and critical success this time.

According to reports, "Watch Dogs 2" will feature an advanced graphics system that will surprise players once the game arrives in the market.

The game will also feature a new protagonist, a young and intelligent hacker named Marcus Holloway. According to reports, the new lead character is wrongfully accused of a crime he did not commit. The story will revolve around him joining forces with a dangerous hacking team called "DedSec." The plan is to destroy San Francisco's CtOS 2.0 and its creator, Blume.

Meanwhile, the first trailer and gameplay video of the second installment has gotten positive reception from fans and critics. Generally, the reaction of the fans to "Watch Dogs 2" has given the game developer confidence that the release will be a success.

At the moment, no other details have been provided. However, fans and critics expect Ubisoft to give out more concrete information soon about the upcoming game.
