The release of the upcoming open world action-adventure shooter game "Watch Dogs 2" is still months away from now but updates on how it will be has slowly trickled across the web. Gamers are provided with some heads up as to what they can expect from the sequel and one of it is the non-existence of the towers in the game.

According to a report by Eurogamer, the famous towers in every Ubisoft game will no longer be added in the sequel of "Watch Dogs." Those who played "Assasin's Creed," "Far Cry," and "Watch Dogs 1" all know that the game featured towers that allowed them to climb up, activate and light on fire in order to reveal bits of the map. The towers also provided unlock missions for the players.

But the time has come that Ubisoft decided to ditch the towers and create a different atmosphere in the game. The gaming company revealed a bright new San Francisco setting and introduced a new main character named Marcus Holloway, a young DedSec hacktivist. "Watch Dogs" creative director Jonathan Morin also divulged that players will have more freedom to explore in the second installment and the progression will be more

"It's not a game where you open your map and everything's there," Morin said. "There are no towers. You just explore the world," he added.

Moreover, game director Danny Belanger spoke to PlayStation during the recent E3 2016 and said that the game will be focusing now more on "Big Data" instead of surveillance. This means that it will be highlighting social media, search engines and so on. Gamers will also be getting an expansion in what they can hack.

Belanger shared that they have added three play styles that can be used in the game. One is the combat hacker which is described as the more proactive and utilizes hacks to bring down people. Another one is the ghost hacker. They can make use of hacks to distract and create noises. The last is the trickster hacker which can complete an entire game even without the physical presence.

"Watch Dogs 2" will be released on Nov. 15 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
