Another "Watch Dogs 2" leak was revealed today. This time, the release date was revealed, ahead of the game's World Premiere.

Game site IGN revealed that the open-world hacking game will be launched on November 15, according to marketing material that was probably put up by the site by mistake, Eurogamer reported.

The photo shows the protagonist, wearing shades and a face mask with the "Watch Dogs" logo on it. The image matches the leaked Instagram post by one of the motion capture actors. The image confirms that Aiden Pearce will no longer be the main protagonist of the game.

Another notable thing on the picture is that the background shows the Golden Gate Bridge, which coincides with Kotaku's speculations regarding the game being set in San Francisco.

The leaks didn't stop there. Gamespot reports that another leak was posted on the internet today, this time courtesy of video game streaming site Twitch.

The short trailer for "Watch Dogs 2" was featured as an ad on the site, and Twitter user Steve Kim managed to record the whole thing and posted the clip on his account.

The 30-second trailer also revealed the release date for "Watch Dogs 2", and shows a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, along with lots of parkour action, big guns, rave parties, and teenagers in skull face masks.

At the end of the clip, the protagonist shows his hacking device, with the words "Join Us" flashed on the screen.

The video is already taken down from Twitter due to Ubisoft's copyright claims.

Despite the recent leaks, there is still very little information about "Watch Dogs 2". From what the leaks have confirmed so far, there is a new protagonist, he knows parkour, the game is set in San Francisco, and will be out by mid-November.

Hopefully Ubisoft's livestream announcement will shed more light on the game. Fans are hoping to see gameplay clips, and a more in-depth look at the new protagonist, and probably a brief background of the story. It would also be interesting to see if this has any connections with the first game.

The "Watch Dogs 2" World Premiere will be at 9AM PT and will be available on Ubisoft US Youtube account.
