Ubisoft has announced //n/Dark Clouds, the techno thriller inspired by the Watch Dogs world by author John Shirley.
Shirley is well known within the hacking community with over 30 books, short stories and screenplays, which include The Crow and A song called Youth. He says,
“Working on Watch Dogs was enormously interesting to me because its world offers the convergence of cyberpunk and the edgy tech reality of our times; it all plays out with action and energy against the inner city backdrop that I thrive in. With hack tech in one hand and a gun in the other, Aiden Pearce is a believable fusion of hacker and action hero who deliberately slips between the cracks of society to relentlessly pursue his agenda. The novel introduces Mick Wolfe, an ex-military who get caught in a dangerous game in Chicago’s hyper connected and violent underground. Working with Thomas Geffroyd and Kevin Shortt at Ubisoft to develop the book was a rocking experience – Ubisoft is right out there on the frontier of videogame development. I couldn’t ask for more inspiration.”

//n/Dark Clouds will be available exclusively via digital channels when the game launches on May 27.
