It is no surprise that most game studios are trying to bring a big show this E3 for the masses, and Ubisoft is no exception. There have been rumors that another Watch Dogs game has been in development for quite some time now. Some more “concrete” proof may have leaked online that further confirms that another Watch Dogs might be in development. A leak from the Amazon UK store shows a listing for Watch Dogs Legion for the PlayStation 4. Apparently Watch Dogs 3 is called Watch Dogs Legion – as mentioned in the listing.
Watch Dogs Legion is rumored to be is set in a “near-future dystopian version of London” in a “post-Brexit world”. The game also allows players to play as any random NPC – apparently every NPC has a full set of animations, voice over, character traits and visuals. This feature does look a bit difficult to implement, considering the large amount of work that it involves – not to mention that approaching the subject of “mind control” or something close is going to be difficult in a game like Watch Dogs. (Maybe they are referring to “influencing” decisions of NPCs? That seems more likely.) The game’s setting which might be a cause for controversy (it’s Brexit, people are sensitive about it).
As always, take the leaks with a pinch of salt till official confirmations come through. However, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier is of the opinion that the leak is real, and that the name of the game as well as its setting is correctly leaked by Amazon. Amazon has been known to leak release dates, preorder information, and game features for quite some time now, so this listing is more likely to be real than otherwise.
