“Watch Dogs” Takes Control Of Your Wallet November 19

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs is one of the year’s biggest games with its high octane action and semi-futuristic hacking mechanics. The biggest question surrounding the game wasn’t its gameplay, but when gamers would be able to finally their hands on it. Now we know that we only have to wait until the holidays to play it.

Along with a new trailer titled “Out of Control,” Watch Dogs was firmly dated for November 19, 2013. The trailer also revealed that while it is coming to PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC, the game is coming to “Next-Gen Consoles.” Expect to be able to play Watch Dogs on that shiny new Xbox hardware we’ll hear about this month.
