Ubisoft reveal Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed status

February 12, 2016

In their latest financial report, Ubisoft has revealed the games we can expect to be released over the next thirteen months.

The list mostly contains already known titles including South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: WildLands and For Honor. Interestingly, a sequel to Watch Dogs is also mentioned.

It’s been known for a while the company was working on a Watch Dogs sequel. In 2015 Creative Director, Jonathan Morin, mentioned he was in early planning stages and that the sequel would have to appeal to audiences “in a new way”. Later, a programmer’s Linkedin profile mentioned they were working on the game. This is, however, the first formal acknowledgement a sequel is planned for release.

As we reported earlier this year, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has also been confirmed to be taking a break this year. Ubisoft commented they’re “re-examining the Assassin’s Creed franchise” and they’re “[evolving] the game mechanics … to make sure [they’re] delivering on the promise of Assassin’s Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experiences”.
