‘Watch Dogs’ set to bite in late May

UBISOFT said on Thursday that it will unleash hacker-themed video game “Watch Dogs” on May 27 in what could turn a disappointing launch delay into a smart marketing move.

Shares in the French company took a hit when it announced “Watch Dogs” would not be released as planned in November. However, hitting the market at that time would have pitted it against the new installment in the beloved “Call of Duty” franchise.

In contrast, a May debut for “Watch Dogs” could take place when owners of new-generation PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles are hungry for fresh games to play.

Versions of “Watch Dogs” will be available for current and previous generation PlayStation or Xbox consoles as well as on personal computers powered by Windows software.
