'Watch Dogs 2' Gets New Bounty Hunt Multiplayer Online Mode; Hacking Invasion Makes A Comeback
Jazz RosinThe "Hacking Invasion" mode from the first "Watch Dogs" will be making a comeback in "Watch Dogs 2," and Ubisoft has added more online multiplayer modes to the game.
Ubisoft confirmed at Gamescom that the PVP Mode called "Hacking Invasion" will also be in "Watch Dogs 2." For those who are not familiar with the mechanic, players will have to steal data from another hacker without being found out.
Of course, there is also a chance that other players will attempt to hack you, so players who are being hacked would have to use all available tools in their arsenal to track the hacker before they succeed.
This time around, however, players can team up with a friend for the "Hacking Invasion" mode. As players are all members of DedSec, co-op will be a huge factor in "Watch Dogs 2"'s online experience as a buddy can also help out with missions in the game.
Ubisoft also introduced a brand new online multiplayer mode called "Bounty Hunter" which can be activated in two ways, according to IGN.
First, players should create enough chaos in the game to attract attention from the police. The chase will then commence with the player as their target.
The second way is for players to invite other online players to chase them. Up to three "hunters" can join the game and try to take down the hunted player.
Hunted players can also team up with a friend, which is to stand in as his protector, to compete against two other online hunters, TechnoBuffalo reported.
You can watch the Gamescom co-op and PVP trailer for "Watch Dogs 2" below.
The new mode ensures a lot of fun online mayhem. For those who want to stay away and enjoy the game solo instead, however, all online modes can be disabled.
Combined with a solid solo story mode, "Watch Dogs 2" is shaping up to be a really enjoyable game. The game will be launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15.
