A reliable Ubisoft leaker previously disclosed details about several Assassin’s Creed games. In light of the disappointing reception of Watch Dogs Legion, the leaker, xj0nathan, stated that the Watch Dogs series is “dead and buried”, even suggesting that the failure of Legion had negatively impacted other projects under the franchise, including a planned battle royale game. This news dashes any hopes for a third mainline Watch Dogs game being in development.
Although xj0nathan has a track record of accuracy with Ubisoft-related information, it’s important to note that Watch Dogs is not entirely defunct. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that a Watch Dogs film is in progress, indicating some enduring interest in the series at Ubisoft. However, it’s regrettable that the attention seems to be focused on the original rather than the acclaimed sequel, Watch Dogs 2.
These developments may come as disappointing news for fans who had eagerly anticipated a new installment in the Watch Dogs franchise.
