Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs appears to have reached an end, as per recent rumors. The latest chatters who claim to have an insider knowledge have shared details on X. According to the leaker, j0nathan, Watch Dogs: Legion failed to meet the developer expectations, which pushed Ubisoft to cancel several planned projects within the series, including a battle royale spin-off.
Watch Dogs, which debuted in 2014, was a literal masterpiece introducing players to next-level hacking. The game had a unique narrative and mechanics around surveillance and hacking in an open-world setting. Despite its early successful beginings, Legion, its successor, did not see a solid reception, for which has pushed Ubisoft to stray from the series, or at least will…
Watch Dogs est normalement mort et enterré. Le bide de Legion a détruit les projets sur la licence (dont un Battle Royale assez original)

Ubisoft, however, has not turned its back on reviving older franchises. This year, they released “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown“. They further announced “The Rogue Prince of Persia.” This could pretty much mean that Ubisoft is not giving up on their legacy series, despite the bad feedback.
What’s going to happen with Ubisoft in the future? God knows. All we know is that it’s not looking really good for the developer, as multiple titles have failed to meet player expectations, hence the company’s lower income.
