Watch Dogs 2 Release Date and News: See First Look on PS4 (VIDEO)

Ubisoft has been keeping a tight lid on anything surrounding Watch Dogs 2. We've known for a while that the game was coming and that it was scheduled to release sometime before the end of spring in 2017, but we just didn't know when. Well, at E3 we're going to see the official reveal of the game.

According to Gamespot, Watch Dogs 2 was outed by a YouTuber on Twitter who posted the game's box art online after Ubisoft had sent out E3 press letters to give the media a heads-up about what would be appearing during their conference this year. The Ubisoft E3 press conference set to take place in Los Angeles, California will get underway on June 13th. The press conference will run for about an hour starting at 1PM PST or 4PM EST.

The afternoon conference will focus on a few surprises such as unannounced games and projects in the works, along with the highly anticipated For Honor - a sword-and-board game that hearkens back to the days of Bushido Blade but with a modern day multiplayer twist - Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and of course, Watch Dogs 2.

Out of the three aforementioned titles, Watch Dogs 2 is the one we know the least about. After the game sold more than 9 million copies we all knew a sequel was coming. In fact, before the first quarter of its release was out, we already knew a sequel was inbound. What we didn't know was what direction Ubisoft would go in with the game. A lot of gamers have already seen the potential for Watch Dogs 2 from a gameplay mechanics perspective. The hacking was fairly simplistic but it opened up a lot of possibilities for the open-world title. The more grounded approach to chase sequences, shootouts and side-quests made the original Watch Dogs highly regarded within gaming circles. The graphical downgrades, limited physics and repetitive missions were not quite as well regarded within gaming circles.
