Here's everything we know about 'Watch Dogs 2' heading into E3

It's set in San Francisco, it lets you hack all sorts of new things and it features selfie sticks. What more do you need?

Ubisoft unveiled Watch Dogs 2 on Wednesday, finally addressing months of rumors and speculation with the reality of cold, hard facts.

The game moves from its predecessor's Chicago setting to a freely explorable near-future vision of San Francisco. That's the home of Silicon Valley, where "the attitude of the hacker" was born (as Ubisoft puts it).

Watch Dogs is all about hacking and this sequel steps that up with a whole new set of tools and an expanded range of hackable targets. Ubisoft revealed a pile of details in a Wednesday morning livestream and you can rewatch it now up top.
