Ubisoft recently revealed that Watch Dogs will feature Dark Souls style multiplayer invasions, with other players able to enter your game and wreak havoc. However, lead designer Danny Belanger has assured players that these events won’t interrupt those simply looking to play through the story.
Speaking to OXM, Belanger said, ”We have a shield. So if someone comes into your game and hacks you, you’re protected. It can’t happen. The less you partake in the multiplayer, the longer the shield.”
”If you’re not hacking people and you’re not into that gameplay, the game will recognize and acknowledge that you’re not into that. That’s fine. The shield will slowly become many hours because we’re trying to adapt. There are so many different players and we’re trying to adapt to all of them and make an experience that works for them.”
So no losing all your hard-earned currency when some jumped up little git with a broadsword hops into your game and stabs you from behind, unlike some games I can mention.
Watch Dogs is out on May 27. Stay tuned for our review.
