New Watch Dogs 2 gameplay footage explores open world San Francisco

Hacking and hacking accessories

Ubisoft has released a 19-minute-long guided gameplay video showcasing the open world exploration players can expect to find in Watch Dogs 2. The video runs through the different hacking tools Marcus has at his disposal and both the new and familiar ways he can use those tools to alter the world around him. 

Even in its alpha state, Watch Dogs 2 appears to improve on a lot of things players may have felt were lacking in the first game. The early moments of the video show off a handful of contextual hacks Marcus can use via a quick-hack menu. Those hacks are later used mid-exploration to distract guards and complete objectives. The end of the video focuses on the multiplayer elements of the game, including both co-op play and the player-vs-player bounty system.
