While hopes for a fresh Watch Dogs release have been officially extinguished by Ubisoft, the recent release of Watch Dogs: Tokyo, a manga based on the premises of the popular franchise might just be enough to bring the fans together again and demand another video game release, based in world’s most crowded city this time around.
The new manga is exactly what many players needed at the time, especially those who have been following the game for a long time, and are disheartened by the discontinuation of the series’ production.
Watch Dogs: Tokyo – Is The Franchise Finally Coming Back?
It was nearly a decade ago that the first ever Watch Dogs title was released for gamers to enjoy, bringing with itself a lot of mechanics that were never seen before in the industry, and the potential for just as many to be introduced in the future.
However, luck for the franchise started running out half a decade later, starting with how the details of the most recent, and unfortunately, the last game in the series, Watch Dogs: Legion was leaked a few days before its official announcement at 2019’s E3. The video game series as of now is a buried hatchet for the studio, but Watch Dogs: Tokyo might just be able to change that for good.
The first volume of the thrilling manga set in Tokyo was finally released for readers on April 12th and has been officially announced via the Official Twitter Account of the game. The post was also accompanied by a trailer which is possibly what every upset fan needed at the moment after realizing there will be no more Watch Dogs game coming anytime soon.
What Is The Setting Of Watch Dogs: Tokyo
The aforementioned post reveals how the reader will be following the adventures of Detective Goda and ‘Hacktivist‘ Stainless-Steel-Bat as they come closer to uncovering a conspiracy between politicians, the Yakuza, and the corporation behind a smart city grid used to prevent natural disasters and criminality.
Additionally, the synopsis for the said manga also gives a better insight into the plot setting of the story. It mentioned how the smart city grid is called
“J-ctOS“, and has been developed by Blum Japan as a city infrastructure management system. It further states how while it has helped people gain convenience in various aspects of life, secrets lurk within this management system, that our protagonist has set out to uncover.
The release of Watch Dogs: Tokyo might have come as a blessing in disguise because as mentioned before, it might just be enough to rile fans up once again to demand for another video game release. Fortunately for Ubisoft, this is something that should not be hard to achieve, as they have already set up a setup storyline in the Asian country of Japan, and also have the opportunity to convert Watch Dogs into a modern-day Assassin’s Creed title if they wish to go that route.
Watch Dogs: Tokyo is available to purchase on Amazon
