Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and WiiU, and for next generation consoles whenever

new trailer showing off
the game, including some phone-and-gun gameplay, and announce a GameStop
preorder bonus:
Today, Ubisoft® announced that its highly anticipated
game, Watch_Dogs™, will be available in North America on November 19 for the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, the WiiU™ system from Nintendo and Windows
PC, as well as at the launch of the PlayStation®4 from Sony Computer
Entertainment Inc. (SCE). The game is also planned for other next generation
consoles.
Fans can check out the latest action in Watch_Dogs by watching the gameplay
trailer, released today. In the Watch_Dogs gameplay trailer, Aiden Pearce takes
his fight to a never- before-seen district in Chicago and encounters new
characters while trying to put his past to rest.
Players who pre-order Watch_Dogs at GameStop stores across North America will
receive an exclusive poster designed by famed comic-book artist, Alex Ross. The
poster’s design is the inspiration behind the game’s box art and captures the
essence of Aiden Pearce, a modern-day vigilante who must rely as much on brains
as brawn to take down threats in our increasingly connected world.
Players will assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a new type of vigilante who, with
the help of his smartphone, will use his ability to hack into Chicago’s central
operating system (ctOS) and control almost every element of the city. Aiden will
be able to tap into the city’s omnipresent security cameras, download personal
information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights or public
transportation to stop a chase, and more. The city of Chicago is now the
ultimate weapon.
