Nudle is a transnational corporation in Watch Dogs 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion, and a landmark location in Watch Dogs 2.

Summary

Nudle is a tech giant in Watch Dogs. They own various sub-companies, including Nudle Maps, Nudle Search, and various vehicles. Nudle Maps is available as an app in Marcus's smartphone. The app allows Marcus to see the map of the Bay Area. Nudle's campus and HQ is located in Silicon Valley, and is based on the Googleplex, Google's HQ. Nudle in multiple ways is a fictionalized version of Google.

The campus and HQ is featured in the mission Limp Nudle, where Marcus breaks into the Nudle HQ and downloads files. It is revealed that Nudle is yet another corrupt tech giant company secretly feeding customers' private information to Blume, who uses it to power CTOS 2.0. Nudle also owns Nudle Search, which is the primary search engine in Watch Dogs 2 . Nudle has also been mentioned on Bay City Pop KBY-FM which has stated the company's ownership of numerous startups in the Valley.

Marcus must rescue his DedSec partner, Horatio Carlin (who also works for Nudle) from trouble after a coworker "tracks his keystrokes" and attempts to get him fired for certain things he typed. This is also reflected in a seperate mission where Marcus discovers anyone who searched for "DedSec" online was put into a database within CTOS. He mentions that CTOS was flagging anyone who wanted to do research on the DedSec organization as somehow, potentially a suspect, indicating Nudle's corrupt data-collection tactics.
