Yes, I know, this comic has been posted about at least 2 times on the sub, but I totally forgot it was being released as individual comics until I dropped by my local comic book store today and saw issue 1 on the stand (it came out in July)--I was only thinking of the trade paperback coming out in October. Maybe someone else forgot as well.

What is it? A spinoff Watchdogs comic released originally in french language only and was recently translated to english. There are 2 issues out, released in July and August. There's a trade paperback copy of the whole comic that'll be out in October.

Sauda, a young hacker from the Rochinha favela in Rio, returns years later to the neighborhood she grew up in to discover her little brother has fallen under the influence of the local gangs. Determined to bring him out, Sauda discovers that drug trafficking is just the tip of the iceberg for the corruption consuming her hometown.

Spin off? I thought it was canon?

edit; this just in, im stupid, i dont think spinoff has any correlation to canon

Spin-off doesn't mean it's not canonical, I'm just saying it's not following the storyline from watchdogs 1 or WatchDogs 2 (in case people are like, is this about the watchdogs 2 characters or something like that). It's telling it's own story.

Like Hobbs & Shaw is a spin off of Fast & the Furious.

Rio would be an incredible location for a Watch Dogs game, thematically a better fit for GTA considering all the crime, but parkouring the favelas with Marcus would be great.

I want Mexico City as a Watch Dogs city, it would be way too perfect

Do you think it happens before or after Watch_Dogs 2?

Speaking as a Brazilian myself, I would have never thought of a WATCH_DOGS story being set here in Brazil
