Shocking Claim: Ubisoft Pulled the Plug on the Popular Game Series, Sequels Were Canceled!

Ubisoft is undoubtedly one of the largest gaming companies in the world. The company, which attracted attention especially with the Assassin’s Creed series, also has many different brands, including Far Cry, and produces works that break sales records almost every year. However, it cannot be said that Ubisoft is very successful when it comes to managing these brands.

Although the games in question are generally commercially successful, they are, to put it mildly, “inadequate” in terms of technical and general game design. Factors such as the same design and gameplay mechanics as the previous year, a large but empty open world, and artificial intelligence that feels like the technology of twenty years ago, seriously damage the brand value of Ubisoft games.

Although the Assassin’s Creed series escaped this situation with only criticism, other lesser brands are not so lucky. According to the latest allegations, Ubisoft is preparing to pull the plug on the Watch Dogs series, which has been silent for a while. The ongoing sequels and Battle Royale games of the series were cancelled. Here are the details…

Ubisoft Decided to End the Watch Dogs Series

The Watch Dogs series was first announced by Ubisoft in 2012. At that time, the game was referred to as the “new GTA” by many people due to its open world structure set in the modern world. Moreover, the video shown by Ubisoft at E3 2012 confirmed the claims.

With great graphics, an open world that felt truly alive, and promising mechanics, the game seemed unreal. Which actually wasn’t real. When the game was released in 2014, it was very different from the E3 video, and people literally accused Ubisoft of “fraud”.

However, the Watch Dogs series still achieved good sales figures, showing its potential and encouraging Ubisoft for sequels. The company came out with Watch Dogs 2 in 2016 and Watch Dogs: Legion in 2020. However, these games could not deliver what was expected due to the developer’s “water-tightening” strategy.

Unfortunately, these bad decisions brought the end of the Watch Dogs series, no matter how high its potential was once. xj0nathan, who frequently comes to the fore with the leaks he shares from the game industry, stated in a recent post that “The Watch Dogs series is dead.”

Allegedly, Ubisoft decided not to continue the series, especially due to the commercial failure of Legion, and to spend its resources on projects that brought success to the company, such as Assassin’s Creed. Of course, this is not an official statement. Therefore, leaks may not reflect reality.

However, most likely the company will make an official announcement soon. However, if you are a Watch Dogs series fan, you don’t need to worry. Of course, Ubisoft can roll up its sleeves for a new game at a time when it has fewer commercial problems. However, this seems difficult for now due to the commercial impasse the company is in.
