Watch Dogs 2 Rumours: 9 Possible Locations, Release Date, New Protagonist and More

Irrespective of the performance of Watch Dogs, rumours have already started circulating on its sequel, tentatively titled Watch Dogs 2.

Watch Dogs had a new, innovative story and gave players the option to be vigilante hackers or criminals.

However, it has been speculated that Watch Dogs 2 will involve smart cities, with a new location, KpopStarz (via AirHerald) reported.

Here are 9 possible locations for Watch Dogs 2:

1. Tokyo, Japan - It has some of the fastest internet connections and network spread all through the city. The people are tech savvy and players may also have to deal with organised criminal gangs like Yakuza.
2. Singapore City, Singapore - This metropolis has some of the world's best tech giants, and is also a city state with police and law known for their adherence to rules. This could prove to be a fresh challenge for the new protagonist in Watch Dogs 2.
3. New York, US - NY is one of the most advanced cities in the world, with good internet coverage and its citizens being watched through the surveillance cameras.
