It Will Take 100 Hours To See And Do Everything In Watch Dogs

Pack heavy, your stay in Chicago could be a lengthy one, according to Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin.

Looking to follow the Assassin’s Creed template of ‘more is better’, Watch Dogs will reportedly take forty hours for those ploughing through the story missions. Those who want to see and do everything in Watch Dogs though, will be at it for a staggering one hundred hours…



While we’ve yet to get any extensive information on how the single-player campaign in Watch Dogs unfolds, initial previews seem to indicate that it will be an Assassin’s Creed-like experience. Hacking terminals can unveil the landmarks around you, while there’s set to be countless distractions, mini-games and missions designed to suck you into its world.

So, Watch Dogs is looking to be a pretty hefty game, and that’s without taking into account the Dark Souls-esque invasion multiplayer, which also includes open-world meandering for up to eight players in any one city.

Alongside this news Australia Classification Board (ACB) has also confirmed that there is new content in Watch Dogs, introduced since the initially classified version pre-delay.

“The entire development team has been working hard to polish and fine tune Watch Dogs in order to deliver a truly memorable open world game. In parallel, the extra time also allowed the team to include a bit of additional content,” said Ubisoft in a statement.

“As per Australian classification guidelines, Ubisoft resubmitted the updated version with the added content to the Australian Classification Board. The decision to amend the rating of the game from MA15+ to R18+ was made by the ACB.”

No word just yet on exactly what the new content is, but the ACB report mentions scenes of sexual violence, in missions which deal with human trafficking.
