(UPDATE)
Ubisoft has announced that the Watch Dogs story-line will continue on in eBook novel called //n/Dark Clouds by John Shirley which also comes out on the 27th of May.
Authored by John Shirley, the novel revives the story from the end of the game. “It’s a techno-thriller that follows Mick Wolfe, an an ex-military character who gets caught in Chicago’s hyper connected and violent underground. It will feature both new and known characters from Watch Dogs.”
Shirley is an accredited writer with over 30 books and short stories credited to his name, which include some game, comic book, and movie novelizations. He has also written several books related to cyberpunk genre, which is why we think he’d do this franchise justice.”Ubisoft says that //n/Dark Clouds is the first novelization it conceived of in-house, and that Shirley has unlimited access to the Montreal studio development team and writers.
The eBook will be available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish in two digital formats: an upgraded version with interactive videos and images, and a classic eBook. You can find out more about //n/Dark Clouds on its official website.
