Ubisoft appears to have set up an ARG—an Alternate Reality Game—for their upcoming title, Watch Dogs, which has launched with the release of a video on YouTube. Seen below, the video appears to be narrated by the game's protagonist who talks about "knowing the truth" and knowing the "digital shadow you cast".
The glitch-filled and Matrix-ish trailer was posted by "scxqdm" and discovered by reddit's r/games community. The description it contains reads as follows:

At this point, it's hard to say how players will be able to participate in the ARG, but expect more updates as folks from the Unfiction forums and reddit's r/watch_dogs community figure things out.
Some players remain skeptical that the video was released by Ubisoft, but given the production quality, it's hard to see how it's anything but official.
