Titan Comics to Publish Series Based on Ubisoft's WATCH_DOGS in July

WATCH_DOGS is an action-adventure game developed by published by Ubisoft and launched in 2014. Set in a fictionalized, free-roam, open world version of Chicago, the single-player story follows hacker Aiden Pearce's search for revenge after the killing of his niece.

WATCH_DOGS broke the record for the biggest first-day sales of a Ubisoft game and was the biggest launch of a new intellectual property in the United Kingdom at the time. The game has shipped over 10 million copies; its sequel, WATCH_DOGS 2, was released in November 2016.

And now? It's going to be a comic from Titan Comics in July, written by Simon Kansara and Horne. Or rather, an English translation of the French version, published a couple of years ago by Les Deux Royaumes…

Here's an untranslated look ahead,…
