The release date of Watch Dogs seems to have been earmarked for this holiday season, but that’s just half of the juicy bit we’ve acquired. Images believed to be of its promotional materials have surfaced over the Internet, and they have suggested that the E3 2012 eye-grabber will be arriving on ‘all home consoles’ during the stipulated period. Not choosing to mention the exact names of the consoles can only mean one thing: the PS4 (Orbis) and the Xbox 720 (Durango) should be in line to get it.
That Watch Dogs is coming to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC is old information. And if Ubisoft had nothing to hide, it should have mentioned the names of these current-gen consoles instead of going for ‘all home consoles.’ This is the general argument that is leading many to believe that the PS4 as well as the Xbox 720 will be hitting retail during this holiday season.
Also, the fact that the promotional material chooses to ignore mentioning the PC as its platform is indicative of a possible delay that will be faced by this version, in keeping with Ubisoft’s norm for most of its high-profile titles.
Doubts still remain whether or not the Wii U is being counted or not by the company in its ‘all home consoles’ purview. Leaked via Kotaku, the promotional poster has also been tagged with a ‘pre-order now’ tag, suggesting that bookings for the game may be slated to open up soon.
Announced for the first time with a spectacular gameplay demo at last year’s E3, this game is being developed now by Ubisoft Montreal, the flagship studio of the publisher. It is an open world title focused on players’ ability to hack into various electronic systems, for obtaining information, controlling them or just plain destroying them.
The E3 demo from Ubisoft can be spotted in the space above. Gamers should note that the graphical brilliance in it comes due to the fact that it’s running on a PC. In the coming months, we’re sure to have a clear idea about Watch Dogs as well as the next-gen consoles it is being hailed to be slated to launch for. While there’s no news about the Xbox 720’s unveiling, the PS4 is expected to be revealed on February 20, so stay tuned to our website for detailed information about it.
