When it was revealed that Ubisoft hadfour AAA games releasing within the next fiscal year, gamers were quick to postulate that two of the unknown games would beThe Division 2andWatch Dogs 3. Considering recent developments, it definitely seems that the community was spot-on, as one game has officially been announced and the other has been heavily teased.
Earlier this year, Ubisoft revealed Sam – a personal gaming assistant embedded in the Ubisoft Club mobile app. It now appears this app has practically confirmed the existence ofWatch Dogs 3.When asked about the third installment in the action-adventure franchise, Sam mentions an early build and the development team. For contrast, when asked about the next installment in theAssassin’s Creedfranchise, the game refers toOriginsand theRogueremaster.
Since this assistant is an official part of the Ubisoft app, it’s hard not to take this as confirmation that the game does exist and occupies the empty slot next toThe Division 2. If so, then it’s possible that this game is featured at E3 and releases before April 2019. While nothing is truly confirmed forWatch Dogs 3, even its genuine existence, it’s likely to follow suit with the first two installments and feature a new main character. Check out Sam’s confirmation ofWatch Dogs 3below:
If this practical confirmation isn’t convincing enough, it’s worth noting that the officialWatch DogsTwitter account stated“This is everything”before the tweet mysteriously disappeared. Many speculated that it was the beginning of a viral marketing campaign, which is seemingly supported by Sam’s acknowledgment of the game. All of this teasing seemingly suggests that an official announcement is forthcoming, although any specific date is guesswork.
With the advent ofWatch Dogs 3,expectations may be high for the game to follow up or improve upon previous installments. WhileWatch Dogs 2was praised for its story and UI, it has also been criticized for its physics and repeated gimmicks. When and ifWatch Dogs 3is confirmed by Ubisoft, what would you like to see improved upon in the game?
