New game details for the second installment of Ubisoft's open-word, hacking game Watch Dogs have been revealed.

According to reports from The Latino Post, Ubisoft plans on making Watch Dogs a franchise after the success the first game had in a short time, and Watch Dogs 2 might be available for the new consoles; the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.

The Fuse Joplin has reported that Ubisoft might be adding some changes in Watch Dogs. Gaming fans felt that first game lack several features like more weapons, activities to explore, and gameplay features. Ubisoft developers hinted that there will be more destructive weapons in Watch Dogs 2 that will rival GTA 5, better graphics than the first game, more places to explore aside from Chicago, new side-missions to test their skills, new activities such as going to gyms, shopping in malls, and more.

There are also hints that Watch Dog 2 might have a new protagonist, which begs the question. Will Aiden Pearce return to the sequel?

Gaming website, Game Debate conducted an interview with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot regarding Aiden Pearce in Watch Dogs 2.

“I can’t say because I don’t know actually. We’ll see.”

“We knew it would be polarizing; some people loved the characters and some didn't. It was difficult to please everybody with that character. Now, having seen the reaction, we know what we will do next to improve that.”

Meanwhile, Watch Dogs 2 plot setting might take place in two cities.

The official Twitter page of Watch Dogs posted a photo that shows New Jersey as a potential setting for the game.

While gaming website GameFaqs, created a survey for gamers and fans to vote which city Watch Dogs 2 should take place with New York being the highest, next to Washington DC and Las Vegas.

But, Gamerant has reported that the New Jersey setting might be a new DLC content for Watch Dogs this coming fall.

So what do you think of the new updates for Watch Dogs 2?
