'Watch Dogs 2' release date, latest updates: New trailer showcases city of San Francisco

(Facebook/Watch Dogs)'Watch Dogs 2' will hit shelves on Nov. 15.

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming open world game "Watch Dogs 2," and the teaser focuses on the setting of the title, which is San Francisco. Meanwhile, producer Hudson Mohawke will work on the original soundtrack of the latest installment of the franchise. 

The new promotional video for "Watch Dogs 2" features the city of San Francisco and it shows how the place is a melting pot of culture. Furthermore, it explores the other places that will be encountered within the video game, such as Marin County, Silicon Valley and Oakland. It was also mentioned in reports that gamers will have different modes of transportation to choose from, like Jeeps, dirt bikes, quad bikes and even sailboats.

It was also explained in the trailer that technology rules San Francisco, and with this, people also gain power from it which causes corruption. This is where the main character, Marcus, comes in and he is very motivated to stop people who are taking advantage of technology in a negative way.

Furthermore, producer Mohawke is in charge of composing the original soundtrack of the upcoming game. He has already collaborated with big shot artists such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Drake. Mohawke injected some electronics and hip-hop into the game's tracks while drawing inspiration from other artists, such as Tomita, John Carpenter and Vangelis.

Based on a report from Gamespot, Mohawke mentioned, "When Ubisoft approached me to work alongside them in developing the game's sounds, I knew I wanted to use the palette of some cult sci-fi soundtracks while also incorporating my own style."

Moreover, the producer explained, "It's been a real learning experience, and even a challenge at some points, but very rewarding in terms of expressing myself creatively and allowing me to reach new audiences with my music without needing a 'genre' stamp."

"Watch Dogs 2" is slated to be released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Nov. 15 while it will be released for PC on Nov. 29.
