Watch Dogs, the upcoming open-world action game from Ubisoft, won't allow players to fly aircrafts around the city, although they can use the different cars, trucks, motorcycles, or boats to exit Chicago.

Watch Dogs puts players in the shoes of protagonist Aiden Pearce, a hacker who can break into the different IT systems of Chicago and bend the city to his will.

He'll be able to use public transport as well as steal bikes, cars, trucks, or even boats.

According to Ubisoft's Dominic Guay, however, Pearce won't be able to fly aircrafts like planes or helicopters as such an activity didn't feel right in the game's universe.

Players can, however, go outside the city limits of Chicago using cars, bikes, or boats, but Guay didn't tell the Examiner just how far they can go.
