Microsoft Offers Special Pre-Order Bonus For Watch Dogs

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 19, 2014

News: Microsoft has revealed that if you pre-order Watch Dogs from the Microsoft Store you will receive a special bonus.

Watch Dogs is coming out soon and Microsoft has revealed a great deal for those who are planning on playing Watch Dogs on either Xbox One or Xbox 360. If you pre-order Watch Dogs on the Microsoft Store for either platform by 5pm Pacific Time on May 22 you will receive a $15 Xbox gift card and you will get the game the day it is released. You could use that on the Watch Dogs season pass or any other content that you want.

In Watch Dogs, players enter the dangerous world of Aiden Pearce, a new class of antihero whose ability to hack into any connected system could be his most powerful weapon. Whether it’s triggering a 30-car pileup by manipulating traffic-lights to trap an enemy during a downtown shootout or tapping into the city’s omnipresent security cameras to access anyone’s personal information, Pearce is capable of coercing and controlling almost every element of the world around him.

“Watch Dogs goes beyond the limits of today’s open-world games by giving players the ability to control an entire city,” said Jonathan Morin, creative director, Ubisoft. “In Watch Dogs, anything connected to the city’s Central Operating System becomes a weapon. By pushing the boundaries, we can provide players with action and access to information on a scale that’s never been seen in a video game before.”

Recently Ubisoft also released a video showing them pulling off an elaborate prank on unsuspecting people as a way to advertise what is possible within the world of Watch Dogs. Take a look at that video below and tell us what you think. Will you be picking up Watch Dogs next week when it launches? Will you take advantage of this special Microsoft promotion? Let us know what you think below.
