Gamers won't have to wait that long for the second installment of open world action-adventure franchise "Watch Dogs." The upcoming video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal is slated for a Nov. 15 release date.

The announcement was posted on the video game's official Twitter account. The company tweeted, "Watch Dogs 2 is GOLD! #WatchDogs2."

Furthermore, the video game developers launched a new trailer to tease fans about the upcoming game. As revealed in the trailer, "Watch Dogs 2" will introduce a new character as well as a new setting. A new character named Marcus Holloway will be taking the place of the preceding title's main protagonist, Aiden Pearce. Another surprise for the gamers is that "Watch Dogs 2" will be set in San Francisco.
