Il debutto ufficiale di Watch_Dogs 2 è fissato al 15 novembre su PlayStation 4 e Xbox One ma non su PC. Infatti, quest’ultima versione è stata posticipata da Ubisoft di alcune settimane per lavorare al meglio all’ottimizzazione del titolo. Ricordiamo che proprio la versione PC del primo Watch_Dogs fu una delle più criticate del noto titolo controverso che all’epoca fu capace di fare un solco incredibile tra le opinioni del videogiocatori e quelle della stampa internazionale che lo premiò ampiamente ignorando il più delle volte gli evidenti limiti della produzione targata Ubisoft.
Il publisher francese molto probabilmente ha deciso di rinviare al 29 novembre il gioco proprio per evitare un’eventuale sensazione di deja-vu su Watch_Dogs 2, titolo di cui di seguito abbiamo riportato i requisiti della versione PC:
