A new rumor claims that Ubisofts Watch Dogs franchise is dead and buried following the failure of 2020s Watch Dogs: Legion.

This rumor comes from French YouTuber and streamer xj0nathan who wrote on X with translation via DeepL, Watch Dogs is normally dead and buried. The flop of Legion destroyed the licenses projects (including a rather original Battle Royale).

If true, sucks for them. Hope all of you got your "Iconic" Watchdogs hats...(in case you're wondering this was a riff on Ubisoft advertising an iconic hat, when the og game hadn't even come out yet)

You know what? After Legion and this rumor, I'm good.

I loved Watch Dogs 2, but man did Legion NOT improve from the previous game.

I still say the original was the best in the series. I loved the more gritty and serious main character and overall liked more aspects of the game.

2 was still fun gameplay wise but felt really campy like you were some college kid working in Silicon Valley. Much different vibe than the 1st game.

Never cared enough to even play Legion. Thought it looked poor. Ill always praise that first game though. It had flaws but the concept was pretty cool and I enjoyed the story/setting the best, definitely enjoyed the MC the most and overall enjoyed the gameplay.

That series has struggled since the first game tbh. I never even bothered with Legion.

I really liked the mechanics of the first two games though, even though 2's story totally lost my interest halfway through. I liked the first one a lot more

I never played any Watch Dogs, but it seemed like it got worse and worse as the series went on.

I think it just didnt know what it wanted to be. The first game seemed to have a pretty clear vision, but people shitted on it so the second game flipped a 180 and tried to fit in with the cool kids. That didn't work either so the next game did something completely different.

I just wish they'd kept the vibe of the first game, it was Batman without the cape stuff

I played 2.

I vaguely remember a techbro hippie being the villain.

That is the absolute sum total of my memory.
