It’s the news gamers have been waiting for – Ubisoft today announced that its cyberpunk, open-world thriller will launch on 27 May. We’re also treated to a new trailer, see below.

“We’re really excited for the launch of Watch Dogs on both PS3 and PS4 and are confident that it will prove to be one of the standout games of 2014,’ said Michael Pattison, vice president of Third Party Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

‘It’s a unique and visionary game and we believe that the exclusive content available via PSN will not only excite gamers, but showcase how PlayStation is a preferred destination for Watch Dogs.”

The worldwide release date of 27 May applies to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions. It’s bad news for Wii U owners, who will have to wait a bit longer for an, as yet, unannounced date.
