'Watch Dogs 2' releases new trailer showcasing 19 minutes of gameplay

Ubisoft's "Watch Dog" is getting a sequel, and a 19-minute trailer has been released which features more of the hacking-themed sandbox game. The setting will have players roaming around San Francisco and have them stealing information from other characters by hacking phones or monitoring overhead with a remote-controlled drone.

iTechPost also reports that the game will feature a new protagonist, and animation director Colin Graham is said to have added some improvements to the driving controls of the game. The driving mechanics were one of the most criticized features in the first "Watch Dogs" game, but for the sequel, the controls are said to be much tighter. Now, Marcus can easily make sudden turns all thanks to the driver developer team at Ubisoft Reflections.

The game will also reportedly come with a new multiplayer and cooperative mode and enhanced hacking mechanics. The gameplay trailer has Holloway hacking a guard's phone in order to form a distraction while his partner jumps over a fence and assaults a guard. Enemy positions can be tracked by the drone, and Holloway's partner also has the same access to the device.

If coop-mode is not the way users want to play, the "Bounty Hunter" mode makes for a fun online chase. If a gamer commits a crime in-game, a "Bounty Event" will be triggered which will cause three players to chase you and kill you as quickly as possible. If the player successfully fends off attackers, then the game will reward him.

More gameplay improvements allow players to hold the shoulder button to perform four contextual hacks at the same time. The "Hacknet" view also lets players see which electronics are considered hackable in the nearby area, and the "Stingray" device is used to leech data off of other people's devices.

"Watch Dogs 2" is scheduled to hit shelves on Nov. 15, 2016.
