Watch Dogs 2 online features revealed, including PvP Bounty Hunter mode

Ubisoft has detailed the online setting for Watch Dogs 2, including a new PvP mode called Bounty Hunter.

While it can be played as a single-player experience, by default other players will populate your world as friendly Dedsec hackers. By approaching them, you’ll be able to instantly team-up to complete optional co-op missions — but we already knew that.

Freshly announced at Gamescom is Bounty Hunter, a competitive multiplayer mode for between two and four players tied to the police heat system. Becoming wanted by the rozzers in single-player can trigger PvP Bounty Hunter, where up to three other players will enter your world and attempt to take you down to earn a reward. Players can also choose to place a manual bounty on themselves.

Hacking Invasion returns from Watch Dogs 1. In this mode another player enters your world and attempts to hack you undetected. It’s your job to oust them before than can do so, and counter-hack if you so desire.

Both of these competitive multiplayer features can also be played co-op with another player.
