Watch Dogs 2: Story Trailer Released, Ubisoft Gives 10 Reasons Why It’s Better Than the Original

In the first of two Watch Dogs 2 videos from Ubisoft today, the Story Trailer introduces protagonist Marcus Holloway as he teams up with DedSec, an elite group of hackers trying to stop Blume CTO Dusan Nemec.

“In the new story trailer, we’re introduced to Blume CTO Dusan Nemec, an ambitious yoga enthusiast who views DedSec as a serious threat,” Ubisoft says. “We also get our first real look at DedSec members Horatio and Josh, and a confirmed appearance by someone very familiar to fans of the first Watch Dogs.”

The second video, titled ‘Watch Dogs 2 – 10 Ways It’s Bigger, Better, and Bolder than the Original’, highlights ten different ways the sequel improves on the first game. Here’s a quick rundown of the improvements and when you can see them in the video:

  1. Driving (0:38)
  2. Hacking (1:12)
  3. Side Activities (2:23)
  4. Fighting (3:10)
  5. Parkour (4:08)
  6. Flexible Missions (4:33)
  7. Customization (5:28)
  8. Sailing (6:00)
