Conspiracy digital trip now available as Watch Dogs DLC
Ubisoft has issued a small piece of DLC for its open-world hackers-as-wizards game Watch Dogs, though instead of new weapons, vehicles or trenchcoats, this DLC adds a new digital trip, dubbed "Conspiracy."
For those unaware, digital trips are a special sort of mini-game in Watch Dogs that paint the otherwise staid Chicago landscape with augmented reality features. Conspiracy, for instance, populates the area with stealthy cyborgs that must be hunted down and dispatched with as much prejudice as you can muster. Think of it as a reverse Terminator scenario. Unfortunately, since Watch Dogs is a misleading title, you won't have helpful canine bystanders barking their heads off at anyone with a metal endoskeleton.
Those interested in adding Conspiracy to Watch Dogs' complement of digital trips can purchase the DLC at a price of $5. Alternately, those who've sprung for the $20 season pass will receive Conspiracy at no additional charge.
