Ubisoft is sending "Watch Dogs 2" on the way for PC and the consoles. This time the game will be bigger and better set in a place different from the first game's Chicago.

According to an earlier article in IGN, the game will be set in Ubisoft's recreation of the San Francisco, which will especially include parts of Oakland and Silicon Valley. Just like the first game, the protagonist makes use of hacking as a means of getting through the city and fighting off enemies.

The story puts players in the free running shoes of Marcus Holloway, a brilliant young anti-hero who lives in Oakland in the midst of a tech revolution. Since the country has implemented ctOS 2.0, an advanced operating system networking city infrastructure, Marcus will have to team up with a notorious group of hackers called Dedsec to expose whatever hidden agenda the people behind the advanced operating system has.

The ctOS 2.0 was first launched in 2016 in the game world and was meant to create safer, more efficient metropolises. But what the people don't know is that, in the hands of the corrupt corporates, it could be used wrongfully used to monitor and manipulate citizens on a grand scale. That's why it's up to Marcus and the Dedsec group to thwart them with their rebel attitude and adept hacking skills.

It is also up to the players to explore the massive scale open-world game with numerous activities. If the first "Watch Dogs" was big, the sequel is expected to be bigger.

Based on a post in the Ubisoft blog, "Watch Dogs 2" has been moved to a later date for the pc. Their primary purpose is to further polish and enhance performance visually and gameplay-wise. These improvements include "support for full 4K resolution with Ultra Textures and Extra Details options; an uncapped framerate; and a host of other features and options specifically requested by the Watch Dogs 2 community."

"Watch Dogs 2" will still be released on Nov. 15 for PS4 and Xbox One, while the PC version gets a later date of Nov. 29.
