Ubisoft has released the latest Watch Dog 2 trailer, revealing the a new mission for players who pre-order the game will receive an extra mission.
The mission titled Zodiac Killer, is based on a real life serial killer, that roamed and scared the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960’s. The killer claimed to have taken as many as 37 lives, though police have only officially linked him to seven victims. After he commited the murders, he would send the media and police encrypted messages, taunting them by revealing information about the crimes that only the killer would know, or about future possible victims. Fifty years later, and the Zodiac Killer has yet to be identified.
In the pre-order mission, “an unwanted ghost of San Francisco’s past has resurfaced after fifty years. A killer is staging the bodies of his victims all over Oakland like the infamous Zodiac Killer of the Sixties, and he’s taunting the police and news outlets with coded messages. Will you succeed in decrypting the messages and hunting down the copycat?”
Players will take on the role of Marcus Holloway, a young hacker living in the San Francisco Bay Area who has teamed up with Dedsec, a notorious group of hackers.
They have exposed the dangers of ctOS 2.0, an advanced operating system networking city infrastructure that is in the hands of a corrupt corporations and being used to manipulate the lives of the citizens.
Between Marcus Holloway and the Dedsec, it is the player’s responsibility to take down the ctOS 2.0 and protect the lives of the people of the Bay Area.
