That’s the premise of Watch Dogs, the forthcoming open-world game from Ubisoft that grants the player a frightening amount of control over the world around them - from traffic lights to cell phones, fuse boxes to ATMs, cars and security cameras - as they take on the role of Aiden Pearce, a hacker with a grudge, as well as a knack for clawing his way inside Chicago’s central operating system (ctOS) and making it work for him.

With the release just a few months away, Ubisoft has now announced the pre-order bonuses for the game, which vary depending on where you pre-order from. For gamers who pre-order from GameStop stores across North American, the main perk will be an additional single player mission called The Palace Pack, which will also come with an investigation bonus (unlocking further investigation opportunities) and an ATM hack that allows the player to get larger cash rewards when hacking into ATMs. As we’ve mentioned before, Ubisoft hired comic book artist Alex Ross to design a limited edition poster as a GameStop exclusive pre-order reward, but if you want to get your hands on it then you’ll have to be quick; this bonus is only available while supplies last.


Watch_Dogs releases November 19, 2013 for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. It’ll also launch for the PS4 and next-gen Xbox.
