Ubisoft announced earlier today that Watch Dogs, the company’s highly-anticipated open-world action game, will arrive in North America on November 19 and Europe three days later on November 22. The game will launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii U, PC, PlayStation 4, and “other next-generation consoles.”
Similar to its promotion of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, all North American customers who pre-order Watch Dogs at GameStop will receive an exclusive poster. This piece of art — made by Alex Ross — was the inspiration for the game’s cover, according to Ubisoft.

It can be viewed, along with the images of the other three special editions of the game and the Alex Ross painting, below.
