Ubisoft has released two new trailers for upcoming open-world hack-'em-up, Watch Dogs. The first is called "The Life of a Hacker," while the second shows off the game's newly announced 8v8 multiplayer mode.

"Weaponize an entire city in Ubisoft Montreal's ambitious open world," says the blurb for The Life of a Hacker. "Go behind the scenes to uncover Aiden Pearce's story of revenge, and his brilliant hacking ability that drives him forward."

The vid is covered in PlayStation 4 branding, but the game is of course also coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Meanwhile, the description for the multiplayer trailer reads, "Find out how Watch Dogs creates a new multiplayer & immersive experience with this video showcasing the seamless multiplayer, the companion app and the 8 vs 8 decryption death match."

In addition to this Ubisoft has also released a set of images showing everything from bike stunts to poker cheating, robo-spiders and second screen stuff. You can find them all below.

Watch Dogs hits on May 27th.

  • Looks fucking insane! This, Titanfall, Lords Of The Fallen, and Wolfenstein will keep my One busy until the big October rush.
  • looks cool more interested in the singleplayer though
  • @1 I KNOW!!! i can't wait for Watchdogs. I have already pre-ordered Dedsec Edition 5 months ago. Destiny, Dragon Age, LoftF, Arkham Knight and soooo on. All the huge games are starting to build up. My wallet is going to kill itself after November... All dat cash :S
  • I wanted to see the free roaming activities. I don't care about the competitive multiplayer. And I'm sure there will be an option to disable the multiplayer hack invasion thing in the campaign, and I'm for sure taking that off before I even start playing. It just sounds annoying.
  • Why can't I watch the 2nd video in HD? Watching SD doesn't do the game justice. Plus, being so accustomed to HD, it's rather difficult to watch.
  • UAU!
  • This sounds amazing. #4 you kinda have to "opt-in" to the online portion of the game and you don't start the game being able to be hacked. There was a video showing more of the single player mode in an earlier video, sorry I don't have a link. I think it's about 15 minutes long
  • I seriously cannot wait for this game. Looks like something absolutely amazing.
  • Was that a huge ass spider at 2:28 in the first trailer?? WTF??
  • *edit* Yeah it was a spider, there is a screenshot of it too lol smh
  • Never mind, your video player just glitched. A refresh solved it. Anyways, those are some good ideas for a multiplayer in what was thought to be a SP game only. I'm looking forward to this game. P.S. Why can't you edit comments yet? It's 2014, and we still can't properly quote or edit comments.
  • Multiplayer mode means multiplayer achieves...ugh
  • In the multiplayer trailer, I don't understand the point of being able to see the other player hacking the environment, it gives you plenty of time to react, don't know if I like that
  • Ubisoft titles have too many GUI embellishments that bring you out of the game's fictional universe. All the pop-ups and icons over the heads of NPC's just clutter the screen and look awful.
  • seriously ubisoft release the damn thing had it paid for since september
  • #12 let's just hope the MP is fun as fuck so our quest to 1000G the game isn't hindered.
  • @1.. what games are coming out in October?.. serious question by the way, im not being a smartarse or anything! Just need more games to play, im looking forward to watch dogs then im not sure what games are coming out for a while
  • I hope the multiplayer doesn't turn out like GTA5. Although it can be fun at times, overall I got bored of it extremely fast.
  • #17 In October, first two weeks: Alien: Isolation Dragon Age: Inquisition Lord of the Rings: Shadow Of Mordor Batman: Arkham Knight And I have a sneaking suspicion we'll get Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive that month as well.
  • I'm having a hard time deciding between Watch_Dogs and Wolfenstein: The New Order. This is getting difficult!! I need the achievement lists also. Release them soon!
  • @20 I'm in the same boat as you bub. I COULD get both... but would I have enough time to complete them thoroughly before ESO comes out? If I can, then I will get both. If not? Undecided.
  • maybe about mp achievement like farcry 3 has mp but no mp ach.
  • Hacking NPCs & friends, blowing shit up, fun shootouts, car chases, poker, companion app... everything's looking good... wait a minute... GIANT ROBOTIC SPIDER?! WTF?!?!?!
  • I'd feel less apprehensive if these videos were actual Xbox One gameplay :/
  • Am I the only one who isn't blown away by this game?
  • Holy fuck I can't wait until next month.
  • @#19 - 6 months is a long time. And in that time they could push all the other games on your list back to 2015 - just like Arkham Knight.
  • Ive had this on order for an age i hope it doesn't turn out to be an expensive game that concentrates on graphics over gameplay
  • hope they dont make the mistake to make the multiplayer purchase-required or they have committed franchize potential suicide
  • @24 & @25 I was pumped on watch_dogs when they first started announcing things, but starting last month and realizing the major lack of in game footage we were seeing I started getting worried. I still hope that it is good, but i'm not expecting to be blown away or it to mix things up a ton.
  • Looks like another pile of overhyped dung.
